Kimono of tsumugi with kasuri Being moved by pictorial kasuri where the dyed yarn is woven into pictorial patterns, I have been making kimonos with pictorial kasuri. I try to express the beauties of nature in the different seasons and our feelings in daily life with the colors and patterns and weave them into kimonos, our traditional clothing that Japanese people cherish. Hand-spun Kokura-ori obi Weaving two-ply yarn made of hand spun cotton yarn. Being charmed by the beauty and power of yarn while spinning, I wanted to express the charms of the yarn in my textiles. I think about our ancestors that spun yarn and wove textiles as I work on my artwork.

Techniques
Tsumugi silk
Tsumugi silk is woven from spun silk thread (tsumugi ito). Tsumugi is not as smooth or glossy as reeled silk, and features a simple, nubby texture.
Kasuri weaving
Kasuri weaving (kasuriori, “blurred weave”) is a type of ikat weaving done with threads that have been resist dyed, leaving sections of the thread undyed. The threads are then aligned and woven to create stripes, checkered patterns, or pictorial motifs.
