In Japanese culture, the iris — \u003cem\u003eAyame\u003c\/em\u003e — is one of the most celebrated and symbolically rich flowers, representing courage, good news, and the graceful resilience of beauty in the face of difficulty. In the Maplid rug, this ancient floral tradition is interpreted through the discipline of hand-tufted New Zealand wool, creating a piece of extraordinary elegance, cultural depth, and natural beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAyame — The Sacred Japanese Iris\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAyame iris\u003c\/strong\u003e has been a central motif in Japanese decorative arts for over a thousand years — appearing in kimono textiles, Edo-period screen paintings, woodblock prints, and ceramic arts as one of Japan's most beloved and symbolically charged flowers. Its long, elegant petals and bold, graphic form make it a natural subject for the kind of considered, structurally disciplined composition that defines the Japanese aesthetic tradition. In the Maplid rug, the Ayame iris is rendered in a beautifully circular composition — a mandala-like arrangement of iris blooms that draws on both the Japanese botanical tradition and the meditative geometry of Zen garden design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e100% New Zealand Wool — Eastern Beauty in Natural Fibre\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maplid is crafted from \u003cstrong\u003e100% New Zealand wool\u003c\/strong\u003e — a natural fibre whose organic warmth and exceptional colour quality are perfectly suited to a design rooted in the Japanese appreciation of natural beauty. New Zealand wool's colour brilliance captures the subtle purples, blues, and greens of the iris palette with depth and accuracy, while its natural resilience ensures the 12mm pile maintains its plush, defined form through years of everyday use. The natural lanolin provides inherent \u003cstrong\u003estain resistance and hypoallergenic\u003c\/strong\u003e properties for a rug as practical as it is beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% New Zealand Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand Tufted — artisan crafted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ayame Japanese iris botanical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePile Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12mm — luxuriously plush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGSM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3000 — premium density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cotton canvas with non-slip latex base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3x3 ft, 3.5x3.5 ft, 4x4 ft, 4.5x4.5 ft, 5x5 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional dry clean recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Maplid Belongs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maplid's Ayame iris design is a natural centrepiece for interiors that celebrate Japanese aesthetics, botanical art, and the considered beauty of Eastern design traditions.
