{"product_id":"petite-carpe-koinobori-noir-beams-japan","title":"Small Black Koinobori Carp ⋅ BEAMS JAPAN","description":"This koinobori (carp-shaped windsock) made of washi (Japanese paper) is dyed in exceptionally vibrant and bright colors. Each piece is individually hand-dyed using the katazome technique (traditional stencil dyeing), a masterful craft preserved since the Edo period. Although koinobori are traditionally flown to wish for healthy and strong growth for children, these paper versions are also very popular as interior decoration accents throughout the year, bringing a touch of joyful traditional charm to any space, regardless of the season.\n\nYatsuo, in Toyama Prefecture, is renowned as a major center for producing high-quality washi, with a papermaking heritage dating back to the Nara period (8th century). In this region, traditional papermaking techniques are rigorously preserved, and the area thrives through the creation of colored papers with plant-based dyes, handcrafted decorative papers, stencil-dyed patterned papers (katazome), and various refined paper processing techniques. Keijusha manufactures and sells a diverse range of washi lifestyle products—now increasingly rare in Japan—including cushions, traditional floor cushions (zabuton), wallets, pen holders, and tote bags. The striking patterns, dyed with botanical extracts, feature beautiful designs that blend tradition with a distinctly modern and contemporary flair.","brand":"BEAMS JAPAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58348981616965,"sku":"BJ393","price":87.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/9720\/7189\/files\/5678-1069-745-73-6.jpg_62d533aa-54b1-4eca-a45c-17a505a30b64.jpg?v=1782220432","url":"https:\/\/irasshai.co\/en\/products\/petite-carpe-koinobori-noir-beams-japan","provider":"iRASSHAi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
