Kingyo (aka goldfish) have remained a central motif in popular culture and art throughout modern and traditional Japan. Introduced from China some 500 years ago, kingyo are a classic talisman believed to bring prosperity, wealth and harmony into your life. 

​

Tsukiyo no Kingyo is a soft sculpture inspired by hinamatsuri hanging ornaments & the tradition of viewing kingyo from above to enjoy their beauty. Each kingyo is one of a kind, individually handcrafted with upcycled kimono & obi cloth.

 

Made from offcuts from larger projects the Mini Tsukiyo no Kingyo is an adornment accessory, key charmer or a pin cushion for eco conscious sewers. Or simply enjoy the Tsukiyo no Kingyo Cushion in your favourite snuggle spot with all its good vibes.
