Hello again, we were waiting for you.
We have kept making our own nest little by little.

Dye Shelf


I have made a dye shelf that I was wishing for.
Until recently, dyes were bound together or placed in cardboard boxes and were left in a storehouse or under the eaves but now they are grouped in one place and sorted in the shelf to make them visible at a glance.

Thank you


After the workshop of “Herbarium of the Senses vol. 01 Mugwort” held on April 24, I left home for a while for some business, and just came back last night.
I finally have time to enjoy the beauty of mountains, fresh green of spring and the plump double-flowered cherry in full bloom.
I will be writing about the details of the workshop but I would like to express my appreciation before I start.

Usui


“Falling snow turns into rain and ice melts into water”, which explains about “Usui”, one of the twenty-four seasonal divisions of a year in the old lunar calendar, has passed and there was a day when rain turned into snow and then turned into rain again around this area.
It is a textile that is like a description of rain turned from snow.

Ukeireru – Acceptance 2


I took a walk in the forest with my daughter on a pleasant holiday with a clear sky.
The place is near to the nursery school and my daughter walks freely ahead of me, assuming that she’s been here and walked around many times with her teacher and friends.

Ukeireru – Acceptance

“When I was in Ina, it was so cold at night that I couldn’t keep my face out of the comforter. Here, I can put my face out of it.”
My friend Akiko SATO, who came to Hokuto-shi, Yamanashi Prefecture before us and has lived here for six years, said cheerfully.

Hands


When I was having lunch with my friends the other day, one of them, who was a younger gentleman of plants/minerals artist, praised my hands and I was jumping for joy secretly.
