The Art of Wallcoverings: Discover Tokiwa’s Handcrafted Collections
In a world rushing toward automation, Tokiwa stands as a tribute to craftsmanship, tradition, and artistry. Their handmade wallcoverings are not just decorative—they’re stories woven, printed, and pressed by hand, each collection offering a unique connection to natural materials and centuries-old techniques.
Hand Screen Printing: Tokiwa’s hand screen prints embrace the beauty of imperfection. In a time where digital perfection dominates, this analog process captures texture and depth no machine can replicate—each piece holding the mark of the artisan’s hand.
Abaca: Crafted from the resilient basho thread, Abaca wallcoverings are rich with natural luster and subtle irregularities. The fibers, each varying in thickness, create an organic striped pattern—timeless, elegant, and impossible to grow tired of.
Glass Beads: Made with natural and recycled materials, Tokiwa’s Glass Bead collection comes alive when touched by light. Their shimmer, texture, and shifting shadows add depth and intrigue, changing throughout the day like living art.
Textile Wood Veneer: Inspired by the natural beauty along Kyoto’s Kizu River, these wallcoverings blend traditional Japanese weaving with natural materials. The result is a refined textile that brings warmth, history, and craftsmanship into modern spaces.
Japanese Silk: Genuine 100% silk is delicately backed with Echizen Japanese paper—a meticulous, fully handcrafted process from dyeing to finishing. The result is luxurious, tactile, and rich in heritage.
Metal Leaf: Tokiwa reimagines the Japanese tradition of metal leafing with modern innovation. Their non-discoloration paper fuses ancient craft with contemporary materials, adding a luminous, cultural elegance to any interior.
Each Tokiwa collection is a celebration of heritage and artistry, offering more than wallcoverings—they’re stories designed to be felt, admired, and lived with.
I’m thrilled to represent Tokiwa here in Arizona and introduce these truly one-of-a-kind wallcoverings to designers and clients who appreciate craftsmanship, history, and artistry.
