Striped jackets made from strips of kimono silks.
‘Purple Ume’, with a contrasting stripe that plays hide and seek with the bold flower design.
This oh so cool blue ‘rinzu’, a woven design of clouds, pieced with a high contrast blue and white shibori.
A subtler version, pieced with a similar colored silk with very tiny white specks.
They’re like the kids in a family. They come from the same place, you see the similarities, they’re built pretty much the same, but each is its own unique and special entity.
Very unique and interesting. I like the purple one best. The collar is so cool.
Outstanding work! I love the colors.
