Persian poetry:
ابر آمد و مه بر سر سبزه گریست
بی بادهٔ گلرنگ نمیباید زیست
این سبزه که امروز تماشاگه ماست
تا سبزهٔ خاک ما تماشاگه کیست
Japanese translation
"The clouds filled the sky (the effect of the wind) and began to weep over the vast greenery."
بی بادهٔ گلرنگ نمیباید زیست
Japanese Translation
"Without the wind, a blooming rose cannot survive"
Japanese Translation
"Now these blossoming flowers are our viewing pleasure. Now, as long as our ground is green, who knows what else to look at."
The message of the poem is not to worry about what's going on in the world, but to cherish the fun times you have now.

Artwork description:
The design of this piece is mainly a combination of medallion patterns and Drakhti. Drakhti means "tree pattern" and is a pattern featuring the "tree of life", which is a symbol of life. The design of this piece is a rare carpet measuring 1m square, with a circular medallion pattern "window" in which cherry blossom and plum blossom-like trees and birds are placed.
This piece was produced by the Mirmehidi atelier, and it is worth noting that the pattern was originally designed for the Japanese market. Currently, Mirmehidi atelier's main clients are Arab countries, but there was a time when Japan accounted for 70% of their suppliers. At that time, square carpets were quite popular, and it seems that designs that Japanese people liked were also incorporated into the patterns on the carpets. This piece uses a design created during that period. If you look closely, you will be able to see many designs that are familiar to Japanese people of the time and today in this carpet.
As you can see from their other carpets, Mirmehidi Atelier is good at designing carpets with colorful floral motifs scattered all over the carpet. This piece can be evaluated as a masterpiece that skillfully incorporates traditional oriental designs and beautifully combines them with their own specialty designs.
As we have seen in this work, Persian carpets do not only combine traditional Iranian patterns, but it is not uncommon for them to incorporate foreign designs from the East and West. Therefore, when appreciating a carpet, if you look at it while thinking of the paintings and crafts you have seen so far, you may be able to enjoy discovering unexpected commonalities and even feeling historical connections.

Detailed description of the colours depicted:
The design of this piece is mainly a combination of Mehrab and Drakhti patterns. Mehrab is a Persian word that means a niche in a mosque, and a niche is a recessed facility in the front wall of the interior of the mosque's prayer hall. Meanwhile, Drakhti means "tree pattern" and is a pattern featuring the "tree of life," which is a symbol of life. For people living in the dry areas of the Middle East, where much of the land is desert and there is little greenery, the "tree of life" evokes the image of a place with water, an oasis, and at the same time, there are flowers and a garden. A paradise where birds and animals gather, trees and flowers in full bloom, and small birds flying around, this is a mysterious place where animal life is born from nature, a paradise. A green environment and paradise are dreams that everyone has. Therefore, it is thought that the Mirmehidi workshop, which created this piece, was trying to express on the carpet a "mysterious space filled with dreams and hope" by combining the two patterns. Carpet lovers know that the color of a high-quality silk carpet changes dramatically depending on the sunlight conditions and the angle of the light that hits it. Persian carpets often feature designs that make use of this characteristic of silk. Let's take this piece as an example. The photo below was taken with the carpet laid on the floor.
If you take a photo at night in a darkened room with a light on near the carpet, you can see that the canopy and columns of the mosque in the carpet stand out in a golden hue, and the flowers of the Tree of Life surrounded by the canopy and columns stand out vividly. It is believed that the Mirmehidi workshop took advantage of the characteristics of silk to weave the carpet in such a way that the mosque and the Tree of Life stand out. What is the meaning behind this design? From the composition of the carpet, where a medallion pattern with flowers is placed in the corner (this part is called the Haasiyeh Bozorg) and the mosque and the Tree of Life are placed inside the square guard (this part is called the Haasiyeh Kucek), the following interpretations can be made, for example.
"In a flower-filled garden, a square entrance to the Garden of Eden opens. Looking through the entrance, one can see a mosque, and beyond that, heaven itself with the Tree of Life (the Tree of Eden) growing there. When sunlight shines into the room, the entrance to the Garden of Eden and the mosque change color, shining with a golden hue."
Persian carpets can be enjoyed not only for their techniques and designs, but also by contemplating the meaning behind them, just like paintings. (I believe this is also the same way of enjoying Japanese tea utensils and lacquerware such as maki-e.)
According to the Mirmehidi workshop, this pattern is very popular among Arabian oil barons (people called sheikhs), and I think this is because this carpet is a work that combines technique and story. Also, as something auspicious, a large growing tree means "growth" and "longevity". It also has the meaning of wishing for great fortune.

Details of what is depicted
This painting is a miniature depiction of the tragedy of Rustam and his son Sohrab, a part of the story of Rustam, the greatest hero in the Iranian national epic poem "Shahnameh". Shahnameh is an epic poem that compiles the myths, legends, and history of ancient Iran, and is an extremely well-known national epic in Iran. The hero Rustam is one of the most famous characters in the Shahnameh, and the tragedy of Rustam and his son Sohrab in particular is still told as a moving story that deeply touches the hearts of the Iranian people even today.
As this carpet is based on a famous Iranian heroic legend, it is an artistic masterpiece that was created with the utmost sincerity by the Mirmehidi atelier. Not only is the composition of the pattern magnificent when viewed as a painting, but it is also technically impressive in that it is woven with several times more colors than a typical Qom silk carpet. Since it is a very famous story, I will explain the story behind the pattern.
Persian carpets can be enjoyed not only for their techniques and designs, but also by contemplating the meaning behind them, just like paintings. This carpet, which depicts the tragedy of Rustam and Sohrab, is an easy-to-understand example of a work that can be enjoyed in the same way as a painting.
So let's try to interpret this piece as a painting. Take a look at the photo below.
As shown in the photo, the painting is structured to include each scene in the story of Rostam and Sohrab on the same screen. This technique of simultaneously depicting events from different times is called "multi-temporal simultaneous depiction," and is commonly seen in historical paintings in the West (Europe) and East (China and Japan). As shown in the photo, the painting is divided into scenes 1 to 5, with the story beginning with scene 1 and concluding with scene 5, just like a picture book.
Now, let's explain each scene from 1 to 5, while also explaining the plot of "The Tragedy of Rostam and Sohrab."
First, take a look at scene 1 in the front view.
Scene 1 depicts the young hero Rostam and the beautiful princess Tahmineh, who would later become the mother of Sohrab, witnessing a lamassu, a winged bull-headed spirit. The lamassu is an ancient Persian spirit found in the palace decorations of the Achaemenid Empire, and is said to be in charge of evil, good fortune, and fertility. The appearance of this spirit suggests that the couple will have a child who will one day become an exceptional warrior.
Next, look at scene 2 in the front view.
Scene 2 depicts the grown-up son Sohrab's famous duel with the female warrior Goldafried. Goldafried is a heroine who is portrayed with great emphasis in the original work, and she is defeated after a fierce battle with Sohrab on her first battle. This scene depicts the dramatic moment when the brave warrior Sohrab takes Goldafried's helmet just before defeating her, and realizes that he has been fighting a woman. The moment he takes the helmet away, he is captivated by her beauty, and is amazed at the strength and beauty of Persian women, and mutters to himself, "If Persian women are this strong, men must be even stronger." She falls in love with Goldafried, but Goldafried, knowing that Persians cannot fall in love with foreign men, deceives Sohrab and manages to escape.
This scene also depicts his father, Rostam, and mother, Tahmineh, watching from outside the battlefield as they watch their son's heroic figure.
Next, look at scene 3 in the front view.
Scene 3 is one of the most famous scenes in the story of the hero Rostam, depicting his one-on-one battle with his son Sohrab. In the story, after a series of unfortunate events, the hero Rostam and the brave warrior Sohrab, father and son, engage in a fierce battle for three days on the battlefield without knowing who the other is. Although Rostam had defeated many monsters and heroic warriors up until that point, he was defeated by Sohrab many times in this battle, and was finally pinned down and nearly decapitated. Rostam escapes this crisis using a cunning plan, which is rare for his fighting style. Then, on the last day of the battle, Rostam prays to God and releases the power he had sealed away within himself. Using this power, Rostam finally defeats the brave warrior Sohrab.
However, just after killing the strongest enemy of his life, Rostam finds out that the enemy was his own son. This scene depicts the look of despair on Rostam's face after learning the truth just after killing his son, and at the same time, it depicts Tahmineh watching in shock at the tragedy of the two of them.
Next, look at scene 4 in the front view.
Scene 4 depicts the separation between Rostam and Tahmineh after the death of their son Sohrab. In the original work, there is no description of how Tahmineh felt about Rostam after her son's death. However, when Tahmineh found out that her son had been killed by his own father, she naturally could no longer love her husband Rostam. Therefore, by adding an interpretation that was not in the original work, this scene depicts the separation between the two who once loved each other and had a son.
Finally, take a look at scene 5 in the front view.
Scene 5 depicts Tahmineh, who has lost her son, reminiscing about his tragic life. Towards the end of the story, Tahmineh, who has lost her son, is deeply grieved. She cuts herself, pulls out her hair, beats her beautiful face and cries out the name of her son. The story then tells us that she died a year after her son's death, and ends with a long-winded exhortation about fate. This scene depicts Tahmineh, with her hair disheveled with grief, literally looking back at the events from before her son's birth to his death. With this composition, the carpet concludes the tragedy of Rostam and Sohrab as the tragic story of Tahmineh.
Above, I have explained the story depicted in this carpet. Looking at all the scenes, you will notice that the tragic story of Rostam and Sohrab is also told as the story of Rostam and Tahmineh. To tell the truth, Tahmineh appears much less prominently in the original than she does in this work. However, this work emphasizes the tragic nature of the story by depicting her as a major character alongside Rostam, and reconstructs the original, written in the Middle Ages, as a great tragedy that is literally relevant to the modern day.
This work, which is filled with the same narrative quality as a painting, also possesses noteworthy features in terms of the carpet's technical aspects.
What did you think of the story?
[Comment from Golestan]
Hand-knotted Persian carpets are works of art that are so intricately crafted that when viewed from a distance they can be mistaken for paintings made with brushes. They are truly magnificent works of art that draw the viewer in and leave them breathless.
I don't think there are many silk Persian carpets of this quality.
In Iran, many proverbs and books have been published based on this story. The more you know about this carpet, the deeper your love for it. It has a magical power. Also, the color of a silk carpet can look lighter or darker depending on the angle, so you can enjoy the unique texture of silk. The variety of designs, the precision of the patterns, and the strength of the knots make this a work of art that is so intricate that it is hard to believe it was hand-woven...
It can also be framed in a high-quality picture frame, so you can hang it on the wall and use it immediately.
Simply decorating the walls with the finest Persian carpets will create a luxurious, elegant and atmospheric space.
It would also look great in an antique or classic style room.
The actual product is several times better than in the photos, and I'm sure you'll love it.

Unit price perMirmehidi Atelier's masterpiece, "Tree of Life," breathes life into any space with its delicate colors and intricate weaving.
This silk Persian carpet beautifully depicts the "Tree of Life," a traditional Persian carpet motif. The Tree of Life, which appears in tribal rituals and myths around the world and symbolizes longevity and prosperity, is also called "Drakhti" in Persian and "Tree of Life" in English. For people living in arid regions, this motif symbolizes an oasis, the source of life, where flowers and animals gather, depicting a mystical place like paradise.
The field color is a mix of blue and sky blue, and this carpet is woven in vivid colors, using several times more colors than other Qom silk carpets. The result is a highly artistic and eye-catching beautiful color scheme. The realistically depicted "Tree of Life" features 10 types of flowers, including roses, dahlias, and jasmine, and a wide variety of birds flocking together. Taking advantage of the texture of the silk, the flowers and birds are expressed as if they stand out in three dimensions.
The sub-border features a repeated design of two birds facing each other with a flower in between, creating a balanced look. The main border also features a string of delicately designed roses, which harmonize with the overall field color of blue. This brings out the beauty of nature, overflowing with vitality.
This carpet is not just a decorative piece, but a piece that evokes the power of life and nature. The beautiful colors and intricate design give the space a mysterious energy, giving it a special presence in any place. This masterpiece, which took 22 months to weave, is a wonderful workmanship that can only be achieved by the latest work from a famous workshop.
