Journal
A place to gather thoughts and traces of process — note on the history and craftsmanship of the kimono, the people who preserve it, and the processes of making, including my own practice of exploring new forms. This journal documents reflections on materials, methods, and the gradual work of understanding centuries of tradition and heritage.
Notes from the Opening Reception
The opening reception marked the first time this work stepped beyond the studio. Throughout the evening, the space filled slowly as friends, family, and visitors drifted in at their own rhythm, taking their time with each piece. The room held a calm, steady energy shaped by conversations about the garments and the processes behind them.
Solo Exhibition Invitation
Fragments of forgotten kimonos are reimagined through a dialogue between heritage and renewal. Each piece is crafted from vintage Oshima Tsumugi and Shiro Oshima silk, as well as upcycled leather, both dyed through the traditional dorozome mud-dyeing process, using iron-rich soil and cycad tannins.
