Chōyō

"On the ninth night of the ninth moon,
she bloomed in rust and gold.
A chrysanthemum folded in silk —
and strength in every petal."

Chōyō takes her name from the ancient Japanese festival of longevity and autumn blossoms. Her body is wrapped in chrysanthemum gold — cut from an antique obi, embroidered with trees, florals, and a phoenix or peacock poised in motion. The delicate teardrop opening at her back recalls the shape of a falling petal, or a whispered blessing.

SIZE

She’s most at home on bodies sized S to a small M.

PRIZE

This piece is made from an antique obi — a silk woven with care, meant for ceremony. Her price honours the age and value of the textile, and the craftsmanship involved in shaping her into something enduring.
