celebrating cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. to

reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet-that our bodies as well as the material world

around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came.

Through wabi-sabi, we embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent.

Chiy ono studied for years but was unable to find enlightenment. One night, she was carrying an old pail filledwith water watching the full moon reflected in the water. Suddenly, the bamboo strips that held the pail together broke the water rushed out the moon’s reflection disappeared and Chiyono became enlightened.

She said: ....This way and that way I tried to keep the pail together,

hoping the weak bamboo would never brake.

This ki-mono is a memory recycling piece, The Yarns that I have collected from different countries where used for this work and i think this come across as a feeling of madness that surrounds this garment.... It was such a great fun and so much Wilderness inside and outside! The story is still unfolding.

"Hase-Hime, do you know that your mother cannot live any longer? Though I die, you must grow up a good girl. Perhaps your father will marry again and some one will fill my place as your mother. If so do not grieve for me, but look upon your father's second wife as your true mother, and be obedient and filial to both her and your father. Remember when you are grown up to be submissive to those who are your superiors, and to be kind to all those who are under you. Don't forget this. I die with the hope that you will grow up a model woman."

Hase-Hime listened while her mother spoke, and promised to do as she was told. "And so Hase- Hime grew up as her mother had wished, a good and obedient little Princess, though she was not too young to understand how great was the loss of her mother.

Not long after the death of his first wife, Prince Toyonari married again, a lady of noble birth named Princess Terute. ….
