tabane / Choker – Silver

A lavish choker, woven with an opulent abundance of pure gold thread and designed to rest elegantly against the neckline with a refined presence. Through the delicate artistry of twisting each strand, the gold captures the light in a shifting dance, revealing a kaleidoscope of expressions that evolve with every movement.

Since the founding in 1897, Terashima Yasutaro Shoten has been a guardian of the "art of making treasures" from the historic soil of Murasakino, Kyoto. For centuries, gold and silver threads—wrought from the purest elements—were reserved for the vestments of the nobility, a legacy of grandeur that continues to drape the finest modern kimono. This shimmering thread is woven into the very soul of Japan; it adorns the majestic floats of the Gion Matsuri, crowns the ceremonial kesho-mawashi of Sumo champions, and sanctifies the sacred rituals and festivals that define the Japanese spirit.
In this tradition, gold serves as a testament to eternity, honor, and prosperity, while silver reflects the virtues of sincerity, purity, and protection against the unseen. To weave with such brilliance is to do more than create an object; it is to bind the fates of people together, crafting enduring ties of auspicious beauty.
