quilt & kakishibu dye

I wrote about quilts in a recent blog.

I love colorful American quilts and rally quilts, and I use some of those fabrics in my own clothes, but I have been thinking about what makes a quilt unique to my brand.

I made this quilted mat using Japanese fabric that is over 100 years old.The brown part was made from unraveled bags that were used to import flour and dyed with persimmon tannin in the summer. I matched it with indigo-dyed (aizome) striped fabric.One part is blue because the top of the sack was dyed with indigo to prevent insects from entering. This were covered with stains, but the persimmon tannin dyeing gave them a nice texture.

I made this pillow case from old indigo-dyed kimono fabric and old white plaid kimono fabric dyed in persimmon tannin. The hardest part of the production process is actually the unraveling of the kimono.

And now I making bags using very old mosquito nets. This fabric was also dyed in persimmon tannin during the summer.

See you soon!

Nothing quite says the holidays like comfortable dressing gowns. And in the late 1800s, the Western market was absolutely besotted with dressing gowns--for men and women.

This 1885 deep berry dressing gown is covered in astonishingly beautiful embroidery featuring birds and lilies. It was made in Japan, specifically for Western audiences. The silk is faille, once again, so it drapes absolutely beautifully, and the detail on the pattern is one of the most stunning things I've seen in a long time. I can't even begin to wrap my head around the time and attention this would take.

The silk faille color is one of my favorites in the world. I want to personally thank LACMA for their amazing photography on this one.

sashiko stitch

Hello,April. Time goes by quickly. Spring has come at my hometown. Sakura are a special flower for Japanese.

let's get back to the today's topics. Today, I would like to introduce a new works.

I recently made a bag from an old stained jute bag, dyed with persimmon tannin and reinforced with many stitches. Sashiko is an old Japanese technique to strengthen cloth with many stitches. I used up the old jute bags without any scraps. It is made entirely from vegetable materials, so it go back to the soil.

This bag is hand quilted with cotton inside. The handles of this bag are stuffed with old cloth. All the cloth of this bag is recycled from very old items. It takes a very long time, but we have created a very beautiful, durable, and environmentally friendly bag. See you later!

Sashiko, the traditional Japanese technique of needlework quilting, uses simple running stitch to create beautifully decorative patterns ideal for patchwork, quilting and embroidery. Sashiko (pronounced shash-ko) means 'stab stitch' and refers to the small running stitch that is worked to build up distinctive decorative patterns, of which there are hundreds. The book begins by exploring the origins of the technique to strengthen clothes and to make them warmer. Getting Started describes everything you need to begin stitching, including selecting suitable fabrics and threads, marking out patterns on the fabric, as well as the stitching technique itself. Ten project chapters show how easy it is to use sashiko patterns to make beautiful items for the home. The sashiko patterns are described in step-by-step detail in the pattern library, showing you exactly how to achieve each individual pattern with ease. Finally a gallery of work by contemporary Japanese textile artists provides extra inspiration.
