Chieko
Craft
|
| Originally in Japan, kimono (ki meaning wear and mono meaning thing) was meant to indicate clothing, a "thing to wear". Kimono is traditional Japanese clothing and has been worn for years by people in Japan. Western-style clothing began to be worn in Japan from the late 19th and the beginning of the 20th Century, and is the "everyday attire". However, the traditional full-length formal kimono continues to be an important part of the dress of Japan. Nowadays since they don't have much opportunities to wear as much as they used to, it is getting a trend hobby to make something creative from used Kimono cloth. Chieko has been making bags, pendants, tissue cases etc with her original designs. They are so colorful and beautiful, the most greatest thing is she enjoys making them and hoping the person who buys will enjoy using them. Global warming is a big worry for all of us in the world. We must think of what we can do at the daily basis, everywhere at home or in public. Here is one of the ideas, making beautiful bags made of papers which Chieko's daughter Reiko has been making. She uses strips made of papers to make bags or trays. All the paper strips are recycled ones. Isn't it a fun way to save our world? All of the crafts Chieko and Reiko make are so individual and the only ones in the world. |
