"Return to the Origin"

The first handmade rug I bought was a bright red kilim I found while traveling, and the first rug I bought after joining Layout was a high-quality red Gabbeh measuring 90x60cm.

The chair mats we added soon after were also red like ripe tomatoes.

It goes without saying that the room, which had a natural base, was now dyed red.

After that, there was a time when I avoided red and chose calm tribal or unique beige rugs.

Lately, whenever I see a bright red simple Gabbeh, my heart starts to dance with joy.

The Gabbeh I'd like to introduce this time is a simple, bright red living room-sized Gabbeh that is making me so happy right now.

The most attractive feature is the uneven dyeing of the abrasion.

The red Gabbeh looks hot. Some people say it's a bit too hot for midsummer.

As someone who took the initiative to choose red, I can say that rather than choosing a color based on the season, I would like you to choose a rug with the feeling that you are giving yourself and your family the biggest treat: having your favorite color and pattern in your room.

For those who love red but their family prefers other colors,

For mothers who like auspicious things, it is a color that represents the sun and torii gates, and is a talismanic color.

For the foodie son, it's "the color of strawberry juice," and for the romantic older sister, it's "the color of passionate love."

And for fathers who love martial arts, we recommend presenting it to the family as "the color of Antonio Inoki's scarf."

It's a simple Gabbeh, but if you look closely you can see that the pattern is clearly drawn in shades of wool of the same color.

In addition to the typical Gabbeh design, the design also plays with patterns such as lattice patterns and zigzag lines that resemble the flow of water.

And the rugs that I like to watch are those that, in the end, all come back to the roots of my master: the Shishigami from Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke."


What do you think? The figure of the deity with its many horns and standing against a backdrop of many trees is just like the deity Shishigami.
It is the most auspicious thing.

Well, I've taken a detour again (sorry), but solid-colored Gabbehs are easy to match with any interior and are also a color that can set the direction of a room.
If you are planning to decorate your room but don't know what to do or where to start, we highly recommend deciding on a theme color and then choosing a rug in that color.

We recommend that you choose a color that you love, not a seasonal color.

Once you've decided on the color of the floor, choosing the other items will be surprisingly easy.

Even Antonio Inoki said, "Just go without hesitation, and you'll understand once you get there."
If you have energy, you can do anything. So, don't hesitate to step onto the path to red Gabbeh!
