Beauty of Tradition in Modern Life
Based on the idea "kimono is fashion", Yuzen artist Ken Yotsui creates kimonos that make those who wear the kimono excited. He designs scenes and plants in nature that he has seen while climbing mountains during his free time, and the excitement that he feels from the mountains with abstract and bold compositions. He handles the whole process of hand-drawn yuzen by himself using the traditional glutinous rice paste. The delicate colors and pictorial descriptions are the charm of his work. While using the traditional techniques of yuzen dyeing, he brought innovation to modern kimonos and textiles with his free-flowing ideas. He has been awarded several times at the Textiles Traditional Kōgei Exhibition where the top textile artists in Japan gather, and is one of the leading textile artists in Japan.
