We are pleased to announce the new arrivals of “THAT OLD MAGIC” collection on Saturday, March 2 at Center for COSMIC WONDER.
A collection of beautiful shining foils and old owl print patterns. The motif is based on a lovely owlish floral pattern that looks like a phantom. The pattern is made with a dyeing technique evolved from the yuzen technique of Kyoto. The fabric is a supple and resilient cotton linen typewriter.The collection includes: Uniquely structured coat that can be folded and layered, CW’s origin wrapped pants, shirt with bow-tie and shirt wrapped dress, relaxed pants with a refined silhouette, paper bag dress, reversible folk cap and eco-bag. A collection of fine merino wool woven on a Schonherr shuttle loom, which is modeled on the principles of hand weaving. Weaving high-twist merino wool on the Schonherr produces a cloth with fullness and elasticity that is light and comfortable to the touch. Merino wool has excellent moisture absorption, warmth retention, and odor control properties, making it ideal for all seasons. The collection includes: 1950s-style open-collar shirts, dolman-sleeve classical dresses and CW’s origin folk cap etc.
We look forward to your visit.

We are pleased to present Masaho Anotani’s solo exhibition,”LINALSASI”. Anotani’s work stems from his daily activities and social encounters, along with the sensations he gains from nature. His artistic expressions are the instantaneous reactions that emerge from these moments. He has presented his work in various forms, including painting, drawing, collage, performance, poetry, and photography. The title of this exhibition, “LINALSASI,” is a quotation of the characters that were conjured up by the imagination of Anotani’s son. It was an accidental and undecipherable string of letters but Anotani saw it as a message, an irreplaceable path of light, laying the foundation for his new work.
Anotani’s drawings and collaborations with COSMIC WONDER’s “THAT OLD MAGIC” and “North Village Light” collections will be exhibited and available for sale.
We look forward to your visit.
