The "Ainu Blanket" collection by Studio D'Artisan celebrates the rich heritage of the Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido, Japan. The word "Ainu" translates to "human" in their native tongue, reflecting their deep connection to nature and belief in the spiritual essence present in all things. The Ainu culture is characterized by its spiritual traditions, including ceremonial dances, unique embroidery, and intricate wood carvings.

Central to their cultural heritage is the "Attus" garment, adorned with distinctive patterns that vary by region and are traditionally passed down from one generation to another. These patterns are not just decorative; they serve as talismans to ward off evil spirits.

This latest collection draws inspiration from traditional Ainu designs, blending them with motifs from Native American blankets. This fusion creates a unique textile that pays homage to both Japanese and American indigenous cultures. The result is an original blanket that embodies the intricate artistry and cultural significance of Ainu craftsmanship, while also celebrating the vibrant patterns and heritage of Native American textiles.
