Born from a photograph of the Outer Sakuradamon Gate at the Tokyo Imperial Palace, taken by Designer Diego Cortizas. Through his signature kaleidoscope process, the image was folded and mirrored across itself until the architecture became a repeating diamond pattern, printed onto lightweight fabric that resists creasing and travels well. Reversible, with the kaleidoscope pattern on one side and the original photograph on the other.
One piece, many silhouettes.
Care
We recommend a cold, delicate cycle, preferably in a mesh laundry bag, with a mild detergent. Reshape gently and allow to air dry naturally.

The story
TOKYO IMPERIAL
Born from a photograph Designer Diego Cortizas took at the Outer Sakuradamon Gate of the Tokyo Imperial Palace. The gate was completed in 1620, part of the walls that once surrounded the shoguns of Edo Castle. He stood beneath it and shot the corner where the roof met the sky, a small angle of a monument that has stood for four centuries. He believed the more directly you photograph a place, the less of it you actually capture. He brought the image home and put it through his signature kaleidoscope process, folding and mirroring it across itself until the architecture became a pattern. The waves carved into the eaves multiplied, and the stone became repeating blue and cream. A photograph is a record of a place. A kaleidoscope is a record of the experience of being there.
