Let yourself be captured by the soul of Japan, revealed step by step through the streets of Tokyo and Kyoto. Dawn greets us, its golden light embracing Tokyo Tower like the luminous viscose by MG2 Création / Philéa / Tissage des Chaumes. All around, buildings slowly awaken, and the warm pattern by Lanificio Bottoli reflects the stillness of a street not yet stirred by the day. As we continue, we stumble upon a kawaii corner: vivid posters brighten the walls with the same playful rhythm as the black and pink lines that dance across My Lab’s alpaca. A little further on, the red wool by Magee Weaving arranges itself with the restrained harmony of the geometries of Sensō-ji Temple, while the heart of the metropolis beats with light and movement. Advertising screens, glowing like artificial stars, colour the sky with a thousand hues mirrored on the polychrome canvas by Mallalieus. At the base of the Tokyo Skytree, the decorative atmosphere seems to reassemble in the details by PB Accessories’ ribbons and buttons – a play of shapes and colours. Yet, all it takes is to turn into a secluded alley for Zen philosophy to intertwine with the energy of graffiti: an unexpected meeting that cloaks Lanificio Cipriani's bouclé in tones of white, black and beige. Meanwhile, the vertical contrasts by Milior 1895 evoke the allure of the portico that leads to the Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, with its endless vermilion gates. When the sun fades and night draws in, we find ourselves in front of a restaurant, its soft lighting creating a gentle, enveloping atmosphere – like the velvet by Pontoglio 1883. Finally, the indigo cotton by SFT / SFT Print – Sampietro Group shines in the streets lit by colourful LEDs, where Japanese nightlife becomes calm, understated, and wonderfully radiant.
