About the Artist
A Rhythmical World of Stencil Resist Picture Dyeing
Stencil resist picture dyeing is a technique where patterns are dyed using stencils. The artist herself performs the whole process of drawing the design, carving the pattern to make the stencil and dyeing. Stencil resist picture dyeing artist Akemi Endo makes her patterns being inspired by plants and natural scenery and creates her unique, original world. She has been awarded several times at the the Textiles Traditional Kōgei Exhibition where artists in Japan from Living National Treasures to young artists gather. She received the Tokyo Governor Award at the 71st Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition, a top level exhibition in Japan. Her kimonos, using blue and green as the the base color with the rhythmically arranged patterns, adds color to those who wear them.
