Hello Cindy, I am very happy that you took a leap of faith, life is full of surprizes! You seem to care about what you do from your heart. I have been to Kyoto and bought an antique kimono. I thought Japan was a special country and enjoyed every moment there. Everything seemed so beautiful and so clean. It was a bit expensive though. I wish you the best of luck in all your beautiful arts. Have you learned to speak Japanese ? Well take care and keep the adventure in you, it keeps us young. Your blog is great! Michelle

Hello, just came across your blog. Belated birthday wishes! I think the concept of “kanreki” much more inspiring than the “crone’ Imagery some want to associate with turning 60…as I did the same year you did.

How beautiful. that furisode is just wonderful.
Love the embroidery on the purses as well. The chrysanthemum is my favourite.
It must be a wonderful exhibition, what a shame it is so far away – oh for an endless bank balance so I could just nip over for a visit.

Oh, absolutely yes. I’ve always been welcomed at every workshop I’ve taken. Some have been brief and some have been on-going for months and even years. Sometimes the sensei spoke English, but often not and then we communicated through gestures and pantomime when our abilities to speak the other person’s language failed. But that always just added to the fun.

It sounds like you have found paradise. Does kyoto have workshops that welcome foreigners for workshops?? not just tasters but for a couple of weeks etc. I would really appreciate knowing. cheers

Thank you for this very informative blog, I am studying thie technique as part of my City and Guilds course in Patchwork and Quilting and your blog has really helped in understanding the technique and its potential. You wouldn’t happen to know where i could get hold of a book about the technique even if if it was in Korean. Illustrations would be a start to getting to grips with the different types of seams talked about.

Beautiful post, thanks for expanding my awareness of indigo! I’ve been trying crystallized (”instant”) indigo recently and have had some frustrations. Most likely due to the cool weather here – I cannot keep the bucket up to temperature, and I don’t want to use a fire or heating element. Will just have to wait!

Another little treasure shared with your readers, and another place to visit to go on the list. It’s going to take me 6 months to get round to seeing all these places. Oh to win the lottery …

Thank you for this beautiful and informative blog. I read every word and enjoyed the photos. This August I will be curating a small international exhibit of contemporary pojagi at the Columbia City Gallery here in Seattle. Most of the artists are former students of Chunghie Lee, including myself. The title of the exhibit is ‘Pojagi Now: Contemporary Interpretations of the Korean Wrapping Cloth’. Your blog has enriched my knowledge of this amazing textile tradition.
