Solo Exhibition Invitation

kimonofūkei

November 17-19, 2025

10:00 ~ 19:00

Art in Gallery (Harajuku)

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.

The exhibition traces the transformation of these materials, woven decades ago on Amami Ōshima—into contemporary forms that honor both craft and the landscapes that shaped them. An exploration and study of tradition, nature, and continuity.
