I had seen an artist named Ms. Syoko Takao who is a president of OBI and Kimono maker “Masuya Takao” in Kyoto where is very famous for traditional Japanese craftwork. Her coordination of kimono and obi was refined as my pictures. Her personality was very cozy.  They were mixed up and given “charming” to the audience.  I feel sympathy to her father’s thought “the works is given happiness to the audience and excitement by touching it, and feel cheerful by putting on” on their website. I have noticed the same feeling when I see the kimono display in my atelier and let old kimono rebirth to kimono dress.  And his affection to works is “convinced  genuine”.

I finally conclude that the audience is not bored to see “something genuine” for long time. For example the kimono display in my room, my rebirth kimono dress on a mannequin.  And they also have “something tasty”. Since ancient period, Japanese people have loved nature of four seasons and expressed the beauty on kimono fabrics. The kimono fabrics makes people calm and happy and is plainly “a treasure of Japan”.

I would expand my rebirth kimono dress more closed than original kimono to overseas by the continuous activity for becoming “a treasure of world”, finally world peace !
