Kilometre Paris Japan Meets France Meets Japan - Tablecloth

Tablecloth

Japan meets France meets Japan

Product

This tablecloth tells the story of two remarkable journeys, blending history and artistry. Crafted on indigo fabric dyed in Benin, the design is a hand-embroidered map tracing the travels of Hasekura Tsunenaga and François Caron. The vibrant red embroidery marks their paths, symbolizing the samurai’s diplomatic mission from Japan to Europe and the French explorer's voyage to Japan. This intricate map captures the spirit of their shared adventure during the early XVIIth century, with the bold indigo and red hues symbolizing the meeting of cultures across continents. A unique piece, it commemorates the connections forged through exploration and diplomacy.
