【child story】 is a narrative art textile created by utilizing Koubun Kouzou's artwork itself.
The realistic portrayal of modern society reflected in a child's eyes, and "another story" that the present self tells to the past self.
We created these pieces with such feelings in mind, and designed them to be enjoyed as fabric.
Koubun Kouzou has continuously explored the relationship between adults and children, and the society reflected in children's eyes, through after-school care and art classes, in order to depict children in his artwork.
Children are born into this world with both good and bad potential.
And surely, the various aspects of oneself that exist within a single person are also shaped during childhood.
This series allows you to experience what kinds of stories children will tell as they connect with their individual memories and emotions.
The "Child Story" series comes in five colors, allowing you to enjoy the storytelling aspect of the work in different ways.
■ In a dream
This color palette features soft, dreamy shades of pale pink, purple, and light blue, creating a ethereal and enchanting atmosphere that feels like being on the boundary between reality and dreams.
■ Open field
The colors are soft and gentle, centered around pale greens and yellows. They evoke a gentle and natural impression, reminiscent of sunlight on a meadow or childhood memories.
■ Puddle
The colors are quiet and transparent, centered around blue and green. They evoke a slightly fantastical and refreshing atmosphere, like the sky reflected in a puddle or fragments of memories.
■ Sunset
These striking and evocative colors, centered around red and orange, evoke a warm, sunset-like feeling, combining both melancholy and vibrancy.
■ Memories
The sepia-toned colors evoke old photographs and landscapes etched in memory. They create a sense of nostalgia and tranquility, allowing you to enjoy the narrative of the artwork in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
