Long Pendant / Grapevine / Yamagata-JPN 311406-1 山形県/やまぶどう ロングペンダント ルイ版
This is a long pendant made from Grapevine.
The long leather cord is adorned with many small Grapevine decorations.All of the decorations are woven in a charming flower knot pattern.The top features a slightly larger flower knot, about 0.59–0.79″ in diameter, with additional 0.2″ decorations on each side.There are about 14–15 of these small 0.2″ decorations threaded along the cord.As each piece is handwoven from natural materials, slight differences in size, color, and texture will occur.The number of decorations on the right and left sides is intentionally unbalanced.The length of the leather cord is adjustable. The photo shows the pendant at its longest setting.In some cases, the beads may appear slightly lighter. The color tone remains the same brown, though the transparency may vary.It pairs especially well with simple clothing made from linen, cotton, or wool.Although the main top sits at the center, the smaller decorations on each side can be moved to adjust the balance as you like.
It may seem like a subtle change, but shifting the balance or adjusting the length depending on your mood adds to the enjoyment.
Not only the main top but also each of the small decorations are delicately woven flower knots.
At first glance, it may look simple, but it has an understated elegance—a soft and airy long pendant.
With its gentle presence, it suits many occasions and can be worn casually in daily life without pretense.
Forms that captivate, born from the rich materials of Yamagata
Using a variety of mountain materials—Grapevine, walnut, Akebi, and Matatabi— Kaoru Saito creates a succession of unique forms rarely seen elsewhere, as well as refined basketry that quietly draws the eye.
For many years, she has gone into the mountains herself to gather materials, carrying out every step of the process from the very beginning.
In fact, Kaoru is also a highly skilled maker capable of producing finely woven Grapevine tote baskets of exceptional quality. The accessories and ornaments she creates from multiple materials all carry a sense of considered beauty, while also reflecting playfulness and thoughtful attention to the user.
She has a deep understanding of each material, and is also a user herself, incorporating baskets, accessories, and small objects into her daily life.
Listening closely to the voices of those who use her work, she continues to explore how pieces can be made more comfortable, beautiful, and enjoyable to use.
