[lace] Kimono silk

[Rick & Sharon Whiteley]

I have seen this silk, it’s gorgeous ..and the colours, wow.  It’s very
fine (capital V).  I didn’t buy any though, here it costs an arm and a leg
even if it was from a local supplier. I don’t know how it works up but it
sure is beautiful.  Sharon, on Vancouver Island

Re: [lace] Kimono

[Mme RD]

Hi all

i'm glad you didn't resist the urge to give the link to this marvel 
!... i love kimonos and they're the most extraordinary pieces of 
textile , in my opinion. My most recent treasure is  a book published by 
PIE BOOKS in  2006 : Summer kimonos and the colour of Japan . the kimono 
collection of Katsumi Yumioka
ISBN 4 89 531 X C0072  ...it is mostly in japanese but the 
explanations about the kimonos are translated into English and i was 
fascinated by the degree of art required from the weavers ...

but still

I didn't see the exhibit when it was out this way, but saw the catalogue.  It's 
spectacular.  Definitely worth the visit.  No lace, of course, but gorgeous 
textiles.

I  saw a similar exhibit of these kimonos in 1995 at the Museum of  
Civilization in Ottawa and it's worth going way, way out of your way  
to see.

[lace] kimono

[IC Bardell]

I have visited the Itchiku Kubota Art Museum at Lake Kawaguchi near Mt.
Fuji.  His landscape kimonos are unbelievable to behold and they are only
part of this mans amazing artistry.  As well the museum building and gardens
are breathtaking.  If you have the opportunity to see this exhibition- DON'T
PASS IT UP.
