Silk Kimono Cushion: Momiji (Japanese maple)

At MAISON MIYABI, we reimagine traditional Japanese masterpieces to blend seamlessly with sophisticated Western interiors. Our cushions are far more than decorative objects; they are authentic works of art, handcrafted in our Parisian atelier.

The Story Behind the Motif: A Literary and Imperial Legacy This design captures the essence of Japanese seasonal beauty. The maple leaf, celebrated in the 8th-century Man'yōshū and the 11th-century Tale of Genji, recalls the ancient aristocratic custom of autumn leaf hunting. It is paired with the chrysanthemum, a revered symbol of longevity and majesty, and the official crest of the Imperial family. This historic tapestry is reimagined with navy blue piping and a silver reverse, offering a refined, contemporary allure.
