About Me: I have been captivated by the intricacy & beauty of Japanese kimonos & textiles as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've made numerous trips to Japan & learned about the weaving & dyeing processes firsthand. I've also acquired many kimonos, silk bolts, haoris, obis, scrolls, boro, & other treasures - as well as some knowledge & a deep appreciation of centuries-old techniques that are rapidly disappearing.
