Cast-iron teapot cozy — Cyanotype on linen * Living Your Path

“Living Your Path” evokes that feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be: listening to what resonates deeply within you, making choices that reflect who you are, and moving forward without trying to follow a path that isn’t your own.

This collection was born out of a personal reflection inspired by reading *The Courage to Be Disliked* by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga. This book, a true bestseller in Asia, prompted me to question how others see us, the quest for approval, and the freedom to follow one’s own path.
I wanted to translate these reflections into simple, everyday objects, where plants become a metaphor for our own way of being in the world.

PLANTS, THE SUN, AND CYANOTYPE

Each piece begins with the selection of a plant, whose shape is imprinted onto the fabric through the action of light. Using the cyanotype technique, its imprint then appears in various shades of blue, creating an image that is at once delicate, organic, and unpredictable.
The gesture, the light, and the material all contribute to the creative process. Variations in placement, light intensity, and texture make each print a unique piece.

The cozy is crafted from natural linen, chosen for its lively texture and authentic character. Its irregularities and soft feel lend the piece a natural and warm sensation.

More than just an accessory, this cozy accompanies a moment of tranquility over tea: an invitation to slow down, be present, and listen to what within yourself is asking to be heard.

A handcrafted piece designed to be both practical and poetic, imbued with meaning.
