Aizome Bushu Sashiko Monoprints A limited edition monoprint series by San Francisco artist James Lewis Tucker, now on view @hugomentosf. Contact for inquiry and purchase. Aizome refers to Japanese indigo dye which is a very distinct blue. Bushu is the specific manufacturing process for dying the fabric with indigo. Sashiko is the type of fabric that was used, literally meaning "little stabs" it is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching (or functional embroidery) from Ja...pan that started out of practical need during the Edo era. With the aizome bushu sashiko prints James explores the influence of Japanese culture on contemporary fashion, the craft of creating and dying this traditional fabric, and the act of gift giving and receiving.

It’s a wrap for 2020... Despite everything that has happened, we have managed to work with a diverse group of artists and craftsmen, and adding a few new representations to our roster @hugomentosf this year. We are humbled to be able to keep presenting all these storied art and objects, and perhaps bringing you some joy and light during these dark times. Sincere thanks to:... @mitchiburgceramics @s_k_simon @caroleneilsonceramic @jennymphillips @sloaneangell @janet.jones.fine.art @minettidesign @lutzartdesign @coltseager Wishing everyone a healthy and happy new year. See you on the other side.

Happy Holidays... What an extraordinary and surreal year we’ve all been through. There are still many unknowns and a lot at stake in the near future but allow me to take a moment to reflect and stay optimistic. I’m sure we’ve all learned more about ourselves in the past months, and how we’ve been taking a lot of daily things for granted. I miss my travels. I miss seeing my friends and family overseas. I miss eating out. I miss going to the theatres and attending live performa...nces. I miss visiting artist studios, galleries and museums. However, life can be much worse and I do feel fortunate. I’m grateful to have a supportive network and community that helps me and @hugomentosf to stay afloat. After all, I just moved into a new space in early March and pushed through to complete an expansion at this location a month ago. It’s a tough year for such business venture and no doubt a huge gamble but it’s something I believe deep down in my heart and want to see through. So, THANK YOU to all of you...my friends, my family, my artists, my creative partners, my muses and my clients for inspiring me everyday to do what I do, making it happen and helping me to fulfill this dream. by @minettidesign by @coltseager by @minettidesign by @fyrn_sf by @evankinori by @standardissuetees by @18eastofficial
