Kirameku (twinkle)

This work is inspired by the twinkling stars in the night sky. The base is a traditional Kurume Kasuri indigo, dyed several dozen times. It is contrasted with the white weaves of the tate-yoko-kasuri and the grayish-white weaves of the weft-kasuri that are brought to the foreground. The combination of the light indigo tate-yoko-kasuri and the moderate space between them create a sense of 3D and movement.
