嵯峨本とは慶長期に出版された美しい装丁の豪華本です。琳派の祖であり能書家の本阿弥光悦が本文の版下を書き、京都の豪商角倉素庵が出版しました。
本文は日本最初の木版活字版であり、各ページは大胆な絵柄の木版画が雲母や金銀泥で装飾されています。matohuも木版で新しい図柄を彫刻刀で彫り、和紙を思わせる生地に本物の雲母を刷り込みました。淡く透明感のある色彩の重ねが引き立つ、初のランウェイショーです。

Sagabon is the name given to the beautifully decorated books which were produced in Japan's Keicho period. The publisher was a rich Kyoto merchant, Suminokura Soan. The text was written by Honami Koetsu, a famous calligrapher and the founder of the Rimpa School of Japan painting. The books were the first wood block type prints made in Japan. Each page was printed in bold wood block print, decorated with mica, silver and gold. Matohu has created new patterns inspired by these carved woodblocks, printed with real mica, and having a texture which suggests Japanese washi paper.
