Since its founding in 1898, Terajima Hotarayo Shoten has been engaged in the business of "helping people create things" through gold and silver threads in Sakino Village, Kyoto. Gold and silver threads made from 925 sterling silver and 925 sterling silver have a history of being used for the costumes of the nobility and are inherited by today's luxurious kimonos. In addition, it has a long history of being used in Shinto rituals, festivals, and celebrations, as well as ceremonies rooted in Japan's traditional culture, such as curtains at festivals across Japan such as the Gion Festival and sumo wrestling attire.
The meaning of gold represents eternity, honor, prosperity and nobility. Silver represents honesty, chastity, and a talisman for warding off evil and demons. Things woven like silk with the brilliance of gold and silver have the power to connect people.
tabane was made through the collaboration of multiple creators. Gold and silver thread craftsmen, lacquerware craftsmen, metal accessories craftsmen, design creators. Old techniques and materials. New feelings and sensations. The origin of the name tabane is not only the expression of a bundle of pure golden thread, but also the meaning that it is born from the skills, talents, thoughts and wisdom of various creators.
