The problem is that the demand for traditional kimonos is falling all the time. I only saw them being worn at weddings and baby blessings - and some fashionable ladies in the Tokyo stores shopped in their kimonos. I just had to hold my breath when I watch Toshio-san commit his brush to kimono silk. Any fault would have meant the end to 20 yards or so of silk - could you keep your hand steady?N E E D L E P R I N Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016259421156728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-74797557684022409942010-04-27T23:03:06.595+01:002010-04-27T23:03:06.595+01:00Jacqueline,

(as my name means fair one or white wave)<br /><br />It is a shame that there isn't anyone to carry it on...has he thought about bringing in those outside the family? Or perhaps Westerners?<br /><br />It'd be a shame to see this art form die out.<br /><br />Perhaps one of our overseas brethren in the area could learn this art and thus begin a new adventure of learning the art of the mon crest, which by the way, can be embroidered!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JenniferJennifer Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883017363549224700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-87183205749147658512010-04-27T21:46:16.628+01:002010-04-27T21:46:16.628+01:00Interesting designs.Interesting designs.rosaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628209060234443341noreply@blogger.com
