Chinatsu Nagamune Katazome Wall Hanging - Hold

Hold brings together layered forms and intricate patterning in a composition that feels both intimate and quietly monumental. Created by Chinatsu Nagamune using the traditional Japanese katazome technique, the linen is patterned with hand-applied rice-paste resist before being dyed in indigo, producing rich variations of tone and texture. The overlapping shapes suggest shelter, connection, and balance without settling into a fixed narrative, inviting each viewer to discover their own meaning. Equally at home in a contemporary or traditional setting, it offers a calm focal point shaped by patience and skilled handwork.

《Hold》は、重なり合うかたちと繊細な文様が織りなす、親密さと力強さをあわせ持つ作品です。日本の伝統的な型染め技法を用い、麻布に米糊で防染を施し、藍で丁寧に染め重ねることで、豊かな色の深みと質感が生まれました。重なり合うフォルムは、寄り添い、支え合い、調和するような印象を与えながらも、ひとつの物語に限定されることなく、見る人それぞれの解釈を受け止めます。現代的な空間にも伝統的な空間にも自然に溶け込み、静かな存在感をもたらす一枚です。
