''蝶鳥の (chou tori no)
浮つき立つや (uwatsuki tatsu ya)
花の雲 (hana no kumo)''
''Birds and butterflies
Shake it up before taking off
Cloud of flowers''
Matsuo Bashō
Lemon yellow and traditional Japanese patterns combine elegantly to highlight this haiku. Did you know these Japanese poems before discovering this family of koinobori? The haiku evokes seasons through at least one word called kigo (季語, 季 ki = season, 語 go = word), this one undoubtedly depicts spring and instantly transports us to a flowery garden, an ideal playground for butterflies and birds. Two other koinobori complete the Haiku collection: Dew (size S) and Plum Tree (size M).
The koinobori, carp-shaped windsock, is a mythical object in Japan: it is the gift that we offer to little boys, and more and more to little girls, at the children's party (Kodomo No Hi) May 5th.
This koi carp, made of organic cotton, is very popular among lovers of Japan. It represents a colourful and joyful nod to Japanese design. Madame Mo windsock is a wonderful ethical and chic birth gift, a stylish Japanese-inspired gift for all those, young and old, who love to decorate their world in a unique way.
By making koinobori the only playground of her creativity, Madame Mo offers a real invitation to discover Japan, its culture and traditions. As incredible as it may seem, the Japanese love koinobori Madame Mo! Our carpstreamers play with strict Japanese codes, revisit the Japanese tradition in a modern way, and this gives birth to original, elegant and unique Koi carps. Every year, concept stores as selective as Isetan or Takashimaya do us a honor by selecting and exhibiting Madame Mo koinobori!
