When designing the special edition, the Fischer designers were inspired by Japan - a country with a rich history, full of tradition and cultural and artistic forms of expression. The result: nine jewelry rings that take up traditional and popular Japanese patterns in order to pass on their meaningful characteristics to the wearers of the rings.
Anyone who has ever dealt with Japanese designs will come across the recurring motifs that combine tradition and modernity. From a distance, Wagara patterns often appear rather plain and simple. It is only on closer inspection that the richness and variety of the ornamentation is revealed.
Wagara, the first traditional fabric patterns, were produced in early Japan during the Heian period. They were used to decorate kimonos and other everyday objects.
The special edition Wagara from Fischer celebrates the cultural depth of Japan and reminds us that spirituality and aesthetics are inextricably linked.
We invite you to discover the meaning and beauty of Japanese motifs with "Wagara". Welcome to the world of traditional Japanese patterns, where the treasures of Japanese culture come to life.
The deep and essential meaning in Japanese culture is the unifying element of all these highly symbolic designs. Wagara have been used for centuries in Japan's traditional craft culture and reflect the country's rich cultural heritage.
The word "Wagara" (和柄) originates from the middle of the Heian period (794-1185). As Japanese culture was heavily influenced by China at the time, some of the Japanese patterns also originated in China. For example, Japanese fabrics (instead of Chinese cloths) were decorated with symbols. The traditional kimono is an example of the classic motifs. Nowadays, traditional patterns are being used more often again, although kimonos are no longer worn as often in everyday life.
With their meaningful symbols, the "wagara" continue to shape Japan's identity and can now be found in many areas: porcelain, textiles such as bed linen and cushions, clothing, accessories such as bags and even in architecture.
