「志野」は桃山時代に日本が初めて独自の美意識で作り出した陶器です。生成りや鼠色の釉薬の地肌に、うっすらと描かれる鉄絵、貫入と呼ばれるひび割れ、優雅なひずみ、そして茶碗に映る茶の緑。matohuはこれら志野の豊かさを服に生まれ変わらせました。いくつかの長着に描いた柄は、鉄で手書きし錆びさせた鉄絵です。
こうして自然と作為が織り成す、偶然の美が生まれました。

"Shino" is the name of a style of pottery known by its unique, original sense of beauty typical of late 16th century in Japan. The surface of the pottery is distinguished by an ivory and blue-grey glaze with brush work strokes of rusted iron , elegant distortion and a colour that hints at the green tea which is its perfect complement.
matohu has sought to re-enact these elements in its new collections. Some of our nagagi-dresses were actually drawn by using real iron rust prints.
By breathing these elements into our work we discover an accidental beauty where nature and artifice suffuse.
