WABISUKE and Waka - Echoes in Silence

WABISUKE and Waka - The poetry of tranquility dwelling in fabric

"Wabisuke" means the help of wabi.
Wabi is the beauty that resides in what is lacking.
Helping means lending a hand.
WABISUKE is a brand that gently weaves the spirit of wabi into modern fabric products.

Waka poetry is a form of words that has continued to express the innermost depths of the heart for over a thousand years.
Seasons, emotions, landscapes, and prayers are woven into the 5-7-5-7-7 format.

When these two intersect, fabric becomes words and everyday life becomes poetry.

Canvas and crepe - the space revealed by the materials

WABISUKE products have a beauty that does not seek perfection.
For example, the rough feel of cotton canvas.
For example, the shimmering luster of polyester crepe.
These are not "missing parts" but "blank spaces."
The story of the user seeps into these blank spaces.

Waka poetry is also an art of white space.
Emotions that cannot be put into words are deliberately left out of words.
That is the spirit of "silence is golden."

WABISUKE's craftsmanship is like waka poetry, without over-elaborating.
The viewer or user will recite the rest in their own mind.
That helps with wabi.

Purses, pouches, pochettes - tools that express the everyday

WABISUKE products can be considered modern-day waka poetry.
A small story unfolds every time you open a clasp purse.
The more you use a canvas pouch, the more it will fit your hand and the more memories it will hold.
The crepe pochette carries the winds of the season with every movement.

It is a poem written with the five senses, not with five lines of words.
And by incorporating the product into their daily lives,
The poem is complete.

"To chant" means to use.
"Helping" means being there for someone.

To the younger generation: the joy of poetry

WABISUKE wants to convey the beauty of wabi to the younger generation.
It is not about imposing old values,
Re-writing with a new sensibility.

Like waka poetry, it is free and emotional,
And just a little bit of quietness.
Just having such a product in your daily life,
It makes me feel like writing a poem.

Musubi: Poetry of Wabi, Poetry of Fabric

WABISUKE and waka poetry.
It's the intersection of stillness and emotion.
The act of gently giving shape to something that cannot be put into words.

In your life,
If there was a product that was like a waka poem,
It may be something from WABISUKE.
