Kunka (aromatic flowers)

This work is a design of seasonal flowers. The abstract flowers are expressed in the tate-yoko-kasuri pattern, contrasting with the weft-kasuri flower pattern, which creates a sense of 3D and expanse. The gradation of natural indigo is overlaid with bayberry dye, adding a transition from yellow to green, resulting in a new type of chromatic expression with a softness that has never been seen in Kurume Kasuri.
