Ko Kado
Art Panel
NOTIFY ME WHEN AVAILABLE
Description
Taking inspiration from our exclusive AGOBAY set of ‘karakami’ greeting cards, this art panel exudes a similarly serene beauty but in blown-up proportions for your wall. The simple, minimalist design employs a depth of texture in its neutral palette, featuring a subtly luminescent effect. Made entirely and meticulously by hand, Ko Kado’s panel offers joy and reflection each day in your home.

AGOBAY Showroom ZurichOur exclusive set of three art panels are identical in design, yet, due to being handmade, feature slight variations. They are available individually, and transform a wall space either alone or together.
After Kyoto-based Ko Kado, known as Kamisoe, defines a design, he skilfully carves intricate patterns onto woodblocks. Using a combination of coloured pigments, including iron oxide, chalk and mica isinglass powder, he delicately affixes them to the paper using a bowl-shaped tool and ‘funori’, a glue plant commonly used in Japanese textiles. Each print is pressed by hand, and as the paper is gently peeled back, the design is revealed. These tasks are undertaken by hand, resulting in subtle variations and imperfections.
Crafting paper for projects ranging from world-class restaurants to boutique hotels and invitations for maison brands, each original design is tailored to the project and created through a simple printing process.
Situated in a former barbershop within Kyoto’s textile district, Nishijin, Ko Kado’s studio and shop Kamisoe are nestled against a backdrop of tradition, heritage and craft.
Length 86 cm, width 86 cm, depth 5 cm
Dyed Japanese Torinoko papers with ‘gofun’ white pigment, made from oyster shell. Wood block circle print made with shiny ‘mica’ pigment.
