VINTAGE INSPIRATION - aurinko

i stumbled across a lovely japanese vintage website over the weekend. aurinko have a good eye for stylish designs and seem to be quite selective over what they offer, and best of all they take great pictures of the items. click here to browse and pick up some great inspiration for your own designs.

this has nothing to do with prints, I'm just very confused... because the word "aurinko" means "sun" in finnish. Does it mean something in some other language? I mean, it's japanese company, right?
Well, this had no real point, but still :D

it could be that they wanted to use a finnish word - vintage scandinavian design is hugely popular in japan.

i just looked at their logo and it shows two little girls holding up a sun - so i would guess it is the finnish word :)

It's very funny: my grandmother had some of the mug on the latest photo with the red pattern... and my mother had some of the yellowish-ochre one, but hers were in purple…
