it`s time for SPRING finally

Never before all people round have been wainting so long for spring like in this year, me too. Cold and darnkess do not support me in care of my kimono collection. It`s time to look through the things and try new combination for this strange snowy spring

Tsukesage with kaioke motif

These are my trying to do pictures myself with our home camera:) Not too much perfect but most important was to capture my quick idea of colour combination. I`m showing the best results. Same kimono is wonderful embroidery example, the fabric is beauriful rinzu with sayagata motif woven on its surface. Little too big for me :P but it didn`t stop me against buying this beauty.

Museums Night

The all what  happened at the night exceeded my wildest expectations. Culture Center RYBA survived the siege, which the owners can not remember. A lot of work!

I`d would like to thank all who attended for the warm words I heard during the opening and a huge thanks to Grażyna, Ania, Nina for invaluable assistance in the implementation of the Evening and the Honourable organizers!.

and so it looked like:

I helped my origami master Grażyna in workshop

I told story about kimono kitsuke tips

Thanks to Nina and her game on Yakumo-goto we commemorated the victims of the tsunami in Japan in March

We did small kitsuke show

and the evening finished at 1 a.m. Tough job!

Last minute for awase

I made my husband to catch last opportunity to show this homoungi awase before hot days come and I will be exploding during tieing obi or so:)

I did it

....with dediction to Shino San.

It is my first kimono!!!!!!

Kimono made of silk with damask weave, woven into a pattern of cherry blossom, partly dyed shibori technique (looped). It is a type of kimono komon (fine pattern evenly distributed over the entire surface). Comes with a silk belt nagoya obi, pattern seigaiha (wave of concentric arcs).

* label on the pillow nicely complements the all ensemble :D
