In March 2014, Manami Okazaki came to Amsterdam to interview Linda Kentie (OrandaKitsuke) Mamechiyo and me for her new book about kimono: Kimono Now.
Kimono Now is a book that will look at contemporary kimono culture, from the traditional to the modern. This gorgeous coffee table book will look at exquisite traditional textiles made by hand, festivals, makers, designers, enthusiasts through to clothing companies who incorporate elements of kimonos in their work. The book will cover Kyoto, Niigata, Kyushu, and Tokyo, and go behind the scenes in the ateliers of these masterpiece makers.
Will be available Spring 2015.
