The handpainting process behind this collection is a time-honored tradition passed down through generations of artisans in Silk Village. As the master artisans behind this state craft begin retiring, our Handpainted SIlk Collection now represents an archival collection within KIM+ONO – honoring a disappearing form of artistry rooted in heritage, patience, and timeless technique.
From start to finish, each piece in our Handpainted Silk Collection takes up to 7 days to craft, making it unlike any other silk robe. Every design begins as an original botanical illustration hand-sketched onto 100% silk. Skilled artisans then paint each detail by hand before layering rich watercolor across the silk background, saturating every inch with color and depth.
From these meticulous handcrafted techniques emerge original works of wearable art that are limited edition and will be retired as the artisans who craft them retire as well.
Subtle variations in brushwork and color are a natural part of the handpainted process, reflecting the artistry and human touch behind each piece.
Each robe arrives beautifully wrapped in our traditional Furoshiki cloth gift wrapping, creating an unboxing experience rooted in intention, artistry, and care.
FINAL ARCHIVE SALE - Sold as is. May contain minor artisanal imperfections. No Returns or Exchanges. See website for details.
SYMBOLISM
CHERRY BLOSSOM
The cherry blossom represents renewal. As the flower of the spring, it symbolizes the fleeting nature of life and the botanical embodiment of the idea that “every dawn is a new day”.
CRANE
The crane is a symbol of longevity and peace, and when pictured among florals, a crane stands for prosperity, longevity, and purity.
LOTUS
The lotus is a powerful symbol of enlightenment, the highest form of conscious awareness, and represents inspired self-regeneration and rebirth.
PEACOCK
The peacock stands for immortality — the manifestation of the phoenix rising from the ashes. For us, it also symbolizes love, good will, nurturing, and a kind heart.
