Konoha (木の葉) is built from three elemental parts: ko (木), "tree"; no (の), the particle of belonging; and ha (葉), "leaf." Together, literally: the leaves of trees. Not a single leaf abstracted from its source, but leaves understood in relation — always of something, always attached to an origin, even when falling away from it.

In Japanese poetics, the falling leaf is one of the oldest and most charged images — present in the earliest imperial anthologies, recurring across a thousand years of verse. It speaks of impermanence, of the beauty that exists precisely because it does not last. The leaf does not resist the season. It lets go with a kind of devastating elegance.

And yet konoha also means foliage in its fullness — the canopy at its peak, the tree in full voice, alive and abundant before the turn.

With this totem, Amélie Dauteur holds both moments simultaneously — the flourishing and the falling, the fullness and the release. KONOHA is a figure that understands transience not as loss, but as the very condition of beauty.

To be a leaf is to know that letting go is also a form of flight.

Amélie Dauteur

"Okashi, Hosu, Niji, Taboo, Torio — each a charming name forming a forest of totems created by Amélie Dauteur.Amélie Dauteur’s totems are poetic exclamation marks that punctuate the art scene with their grace, finesse, and joyful beauty. It comes as no surprise — their creator, who comes from the world of decoration, fashion, and luxury, brings exceptional care to their making. Her gesture is assured, her technique refined, and in her choice of materials — hand-painted ceramics or wood shaped by time — nothing is left to chance. These elements, drawn from nature, reinforce the primal and sensual character of the totems."
