"I'm not FUJI"

The osmanthus trees that surround the parking lot not far from my house are now in full bloom with their orange flowers, giving off a soft, sweet fragrance.

Layout has also opened an Okinawa store, so it looks like autumn will be the season for Okinawa.

Personally, camping season has arrived. The autumn weather is nice and sunny during the day, but the nights are cold and I always regret not bringing warmer clothes, so this year I want to put that experience to good use ( 'ᴗ' )و
But I guess it'll be cold again...

Recently, I've been getting interested not only in camping but also in mountains. The other day, I climbed a local mountain for the first time in several years and it felt so good! I was also impressed by the deliciousness of the food I ate at the top of the mountain.

Yoshikawa, who is currently experiencing a mountain fever, would like to introduce you to this rug that features mountains as its main theme!

Oh, is this mountain Mt. Fuji??

NONONO! Not FUJI!
Did you know that there is a mountain in the area that looks just like Mount Fuji in Japan?

Mount Damavand stands more than 60km north of the capital (near the Caspian Sea). Its elevation is 5,671m, much higher than Mount Fuji! It is said to be the highest mountain in the entire Middle East. It is also an active volcano. Its beautiful conical shape makes it look just like Mount Fuji.

Gabbeh draperies often depict deer climbing a mountain, so perhaps this is Mount Damavand?
There is even information that a tour is being organized from Japan!

Now, let's return our focus to the rug.
There is a perfect round moon on top of the mountain, and large trees on both sides are bearing red and white berries, which seem like very auspicious occasions!!

Hmm, I feel like I've seen this scene before.

...New Year's card! When I changed the moon to the sun, it looked like the moment the sun rose in the morning!

I bet there's an illustration like this in a New Year's card template (lol)

I hardly write New Year's cards these days, but it would be fun to use a rug design on a New Year's card! The pattern is filled with many wishes, so it seems like both the sender and the receiver will have a happy start to the year.

And to all you edge enthusiasts.

This time, I'll show you this edge too!!

How beautiful!

Kilim, Gabbeh, Kilim Kilim Sandwich! (Kilim + Sandwich = Kilim Sandwich)
※These are Yoshikawa quotes, so don't say them too loudly! Lol

Also, pay attention to the very thin thread at the end. It's a vibrant ice blue thread.
I would like to ask, "Why this color here?"
I feel like I can sense the weaver's individuality in the small details, such as the use of color and the way the motifs are drawn. The person who wove this rug must be someone with a playful spirit!

And finally, look at this softness.

It's so soft and thin that you can easily crumple it up.

It is relatively light compared to other rugs of the same size, making it easy to carry around. It is highly recommended for those who like to move it around and style it in different places.

Yoshikawa likes to lay it in front of a dark brown sofa and look at it,

No, no,

It would also be nice to have a tea party around this rug in a Japanese-style room.

There are a lot of patterns, but the colors are gentle, so I think they're not too flashy and will blend in well with your room.

Rugs will be in full use from now on, so why not try your hand at getting through this winter with your favorite one?
