Hello, this is Akiyama from the Nakameguro store.
The cherry blossoms are starting to sprout new leaves and the weather is finally starting to feel like spring.
In the coming season, the fresh greenery of the Meguro River is very soothing to the eyes, so please come and visit us and take your time to enjoy the greenery.
Well, the one that caught my eye this time was this Gabbeh.
At first glance, it seems quite normal, doesn't it? Well, I suppose it is.
No, no, no, no, it's not normal at all! Because it's captivating.
That's because it's this, this, this thick!!
Do you understand?
Not only is it thick, but it's also packed so tightly that you probably wouldn't even notice if a pencil or two rolled underneath!
It's over 3.5cm!!
The standard thickness for Layout rugs is over 2cm, but everyone still says it's thick.
It's rare to see such a dense fabric, and it's so heavy that it makes you wonder if they could have woven another piece with this amount of wool (lol).
Perhaps the weaver was extremely motivated at the time? Was he in the mood to push himself to his limits?
That said, once you start using it, you'll probably become addicted to it. The indescribable sense of security you feel when you step on it and the support you get when you sit on it are irresistible.
green
I used three shades of green thread to create a gradation: yellow-green, green, dark green, and blue-green. It really makes me realize that there are many different shades of green.
Have you ever heard that the color "green" is effective against eye fatigue?
That seems to be true
We see things through "light," and although light of various wavelengths reaches the Earth, we can only see light in the range of 380nm (nm: nanometers) to 780nm.
When our eyes see light at each wavelength, they perceive a specific color.
Among these, the wavelength that appears "green" is in the middle (medium wavelength) of visible light, and can be perceived without straining the eyes compared to longer or shorter wavelengths.
I've also heard that it's good to see things more than 6 meters away, so I'm starting to feel like I want to take a look at this rug from a distance.
What's more, green is said to have an effect on the parasympathetic nervous system, which is one of the autonomic nervous systems, and has a calming and relaxing effect!
Green is a color that brings peace and tranquility to the eyes and mind just by looking at it.
What a lovely color it is.
The design is a very simple landscape painting, and it's very easy to understand when you look at the back.

What's this? He's been eating so much grass that his whole body is turning green!!
I'm afraid that if I don't eat too much, I might lose track of where I am in the grassland one day.
So I gradually began to understand why it caught my eye.
Yes, I'm sure I'm tired.
If you slowly close your eyes while looking at this rug, you will fall into a deep sleep... You might find that you feel surprisingly refreshed.
The classic 60 x 40cm Gabbeh is a great choice for any room in the home.
Not only the entrance and bedside, but also under the sink, in front of the full-length mirror, at the foot of a chair, at the foot of the changing area, by the window just before going out to the balcony, and so on - the possibilities are endless.
The price is also reasonable, so it is highly recommended for those who want to try out a rug for the first time. Why not try it as a companion for your new life?
I recommend Green.
