Yoko's Daugher's Obi

 

 


During our Back to Basics Class, Tony told us quite a bit about Japanese embroidery. Yoko was kind enough to bring in the obi for her daughter's first kimono. The stitching is absolutely beautiful. In fact, we commented that the back of the piece really just looks like a wintry version of the front. Japanese embroidery is stitching at an unbelievable level; it requires enormous precision and discipline.
