Kimono Maker: Takao-Kogei/ 高尾工芸

    “The author, who was strongly impressed by the beautiful folk costumes, incorporated many of the patterns into his works. Also, in consideration of the national character of celebrating the death of a person as a rebirth to the next world, the uniquely colored Romanian cemetery was placed at the center of the design, and it was beautifully drawn with the flowers blooming in the field.”[1]
