 Everytime I hold the Kimono material in my hands it invokes feelings of tradition within me and I am nearly overwhelmed. The pattern or design of the Kimono material determines the beauty of the final product. It is my feeling that the material has a will of its own in connection with its final destiny. When I cut the material, I am shouldering the responsibility of guiding this will to its destination. In making the KINUKOROMO, it is my desire to heed this will, and at the same time to infuse my own creativity. |
