Featured item 2

Embroidered cloth to enjoy each time you see or use it

The patterns imagine the world from a fox's viewpoint or draw on wildflowers and plants. Translated from textile designs into embroidery, they reveal different scenes depending on how the fabric is cut.
Make a small bag, frame a favorite section or find your own way to use it.

Brand introduction

ten to sen Pattern Studio
Founded in Hokkaido in 2008, ten to sen Pattern Studio finds inspiration in its surroundings: visible landscapes and plants, as well as things felt or heard, such as winter cold and the sound of rain.
Scenes from daily life and memory become patterns for decorating a room or making something by hand—designs intended to remain part of everyday life.

Meet the designer

Rieko Oka
Born in Hokkaido in 1981.
Completed postgraduate studies in art and technology at Hokkaido Tokai University.
While studying, she explored the construction of patterns by reproducing William Morris wallpaper designs with woodblocks.
She used those methods to develop her own wallpaper patterns inspired by northern landscapes.
She later expanded her work into fabric, a material closer to everyday use.
