New from Clarence House - launching in 2021
Akasaka is an original handblock design created by Kazumi Yoshida. New elaborate
woodblock designs are rare. In this production method, each step of the technique
is completely hand crafted, from carving the individual blocks to printing the fabric.
Akasaka is inspired by the intertwinings of different cultures.
Arusha’s crewel landscape evokes the innocence of nature with playful linework
and color combinations. As Kazumi was perusing vintage Flair magazines, he
came across a photograph of pristine Africa. It was so inviting and romantic that
inspiration came naturally, capturing the essence of Kazumi’s imagination.
Blooming Jungle reflects the concept of Kazumi Yoshida’s 2019 gallery exhibition
of the same name, translating one of the paintings from the show into a printed
fabric. Invariably drawn to the beauty of the world around us, Kazumi created his
own jungle.
