Long Pendant “Mix” / Grapevine, Walnut, Akebi / Yamagata-JPN 311425-1 山形県/やまぶどう・くるみ・あけび ロングペンダント ミックス ルイ版


							

This long pendant is made from Grapevine, akebi vine, and walnut bark.

You can freely adjust it to your preferred balance or style of the day.

This long pendant is adorned with an abundance of small woven ornaments,
yet it feels light and comfortable to wear.

The akebi vine used here is called “himzuru,” known for its smooth surface and gentle texture.
Its color ranges from soft gray to light green,
and over time, it fades to a more subdued, delicate tone—another part of its charm.

Grapevine, walnut, and akebi—each will gradually change with age.
Please enjoy their beautiful transformations over time.

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.
