この言葉を掲げるきっかけが
ある大学教授からいただいた言葉でした

「感受性を育むには　地域の文化や風習に触れさせるのが一番なんだ
だから桂雛の仕事には“意義”があるのだよ」

この言葉をいただいてから　作業机に向かう心の迷いが消えました

感受性を育むこと　それは　豊かな創造性を育み
健やかな成長を願う“ひな祭り”の風習は
すなわち　心の健やかな成長を育む

そのことは長い歴史の中で　綿々と受け継がれてきたことが物語っています

私たちは「アート」＝「文化」ととらえ
雛人形に日本の“色彩文化”と“文様文化”を託し
これからも普遍的な“美”を探求し　古典の色彩文化と文様文化を熟成させてまいります

そして皆様がつないでくださる“ひな祭り”の文化に
少しでも寄り添うことが出来ましたら幸甚に存じます

桂雛の親王はすべて手作りです。着物の柄の出方や模様には
一点一点に差がございますので、どうしても写真の通りにならな
い可能性があります。またカタログとの色味と実物とは微
妙な差異がでる場合があります。

屏風や飾り台などの調度品も一つ一つ手作りのものです。親王
と同様に、金彩・蒔絵・螺鈿などの手書き装様や型つき、箔押
しは写真と細かい点で違いが出る可能性があります。
