Customer's voice: Renovated Japanese-style room turned into modern Japanese room! Silk Persian carpet "Tree of Life" is popular with my niece

Customer Feedback

Hello, it's been a while. As part of my big end-of-year cleaning, I re-papered a torn shoji screen, so I'm sending you a photo of the small "Tree of Life" design.

Originally, it was a 6-tatami mat multi-purpose Japanese-style room, but it has now been renovated and become my junior high school niece's room. Since the tokonoma (alcove), recessed ceiling, nagashi (decorative rail), and yukimi shoji (shoji screens that can be partially opened to reveal the outside) remain, it looks quite like a traditional Japanese room from certain angles.

However, as expected of a low-teen girl, it is overflowing with TWICE, SUPREME, MILKFED, DISNEY, Ojamajo Doremi, cosmetics, and more.

The rug you provided, as expected, harmonizes with the "Japanese modern?" style, feels good underfoot due to the silk, and is popular with my niece too.

When I told my niece that girls her age in Persia weave such artistic crafts to pay for their dowries, she seemed to have some thoughts about it.

I will continue with my end-of-year cleaning and plan to send a photo of the other "Tree of Life" pattern. I hope everyone at GOLESTAN has a good end to the year and a happy new year.

Comment from Golestan

Hello, it's been a while. Thank you for sending us such wonderful photos and warm feedback.

We are delighted to hear that the Tree of Life from Mil Mehdi workshop blends in as "Japanese modern" in a renovated Japanese-style room where traditional tokonoma and yukimi shoji coexist with your junior high school niece's contemporary tastes. We believe it is a fresh new home for the rug.

We were deeply moved to learn that a cross-cultural conversation emerged from a single rug when you told your niece that Persian girls her age weave rugs for their dowries.

We look forward to receiving a photo of the other Tree of Life as well.

We wish you a wonderful year-end and New Year.
