Kimono: Textiles and Traditions from Japan This special presentation is at TACtile Arts Center in Denver. |
The opening reception included not only wine along with savory and sweet treats but a mini fashion show. There will be other exciting happenings during the showing of this exhibit--check the webpage. |
The room was filled with delightful costumes from Japan--some used for formal occasions while others were for every day wear. |
This fabric looks to be either weft or warp ikat. Kimonos can be worn by men, women and children. |
This garment had a lovely painted scene around the bottom of the silk fabric. |
More awesomeness! |
Looking closely--one can see where tiny threads have been tied to give this Shibori technique |
Love this touch of shibori on the Obi. |
More shibori technique |
