How would you describe your art/craft? The store that my mother and I set up mainly sells berets. My mother has been collecting vintage kimonos for decades, and she makes hats out of precious fabrics that are hard to find nowadays. The hats are made mainly from kimonos, and the belts are made from solid obi belts, and the combination of the two gives them different looks...

週末の日系祭りで、毎年楽しみにしているおばあちゃん達のハンドメイドショップで買ったお箸入れ🥢。おそらく絹の着物地から作られている。たったの＄7なのに、手彫りの漆のお箸付きであった！とても鮮やかな紫色で私はとても嬉しい(持って行く所がないが…)。 I got a beautiful handmade chopstick case made of vintage silk kimono fabric at my favourite handmade craft shop by senior ladies at a Japanese festival. It came with hand-carved lacquered chopsticks. So precious! #chopsticks #handmade #japan #japanesefestival #kimonofabric #powellstreetfestival https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zLjYJh_iW/?igshid=1gso5trqkfdpu

Tell us about yourself, your business…

Gerbscheid & Breuer décor is based in Amsterdam. Working in interior décor, often with very exclusive fabrics, I see the influence authentic Japanese fabrics have had in the past years. I see bamboo, camelia, shishi lions, cranes and so on featured in new fabrics. In addition to that, I love to add the real thing. A handmade lamp from real kimono silk, a little pouf upholstered with a striking obi, a bolster from an uchikake panel. It adds a unique exotic feel and softness to the space. Nothing compares to a beautiful, hand painted, aged kimono.

How would you describe your art/craft?

I am trained in classic upholstery, so my focus is on interior and textiles. I can really swoon over a beautiful antique sofa with a gorgeous silk fabric and handmade passementerie to match. I have a soft spot for things handmade and started to make furnishings and later lampshades with kimono silks because I like the creative process and the unique result.

"Embroidered Cranes" Kakeshita Wedding Kimono 🖤⠀ https://www.kyotokimono.com/product-p/1118wedkimsl4.htm⠀ - - - ⠀ This is a vintage Japanese kakashita wedding kimono. The kakeshita typically has a lighter patterning or even a blank space at the waist which would be covered by the obi.⠀ - - -⠀ The design on this kakeshita is a sweeping collage of bright red cranes with plenty of gold, as well as plum blossoms in red and black (unusual). All elements are embroidered with a satin stitch and gold couching -so much masterful hand work! There's a touch of bright blue and light pink here and there, and the cream silk background features a lovely spider mum jacquard. The colors really pop out against the cream colored background.⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #kyotokimono #kimonolove #kimonolife #kimono #kyoto #japan #vintage #textiles #boutique #kimonofabric #vintagekimono #silk #fashion #unique #boho #bohostyle #fashionblogger #instafashion #vintagestyle #vintageshop #vintagefashion #vintagelovers https://www.instagram.com/p/B2IaOmyAFpW/?igshid=s8jqul8h6me1

The Sagano Bamboo Forest - Have you been here?⠀ - - - ⠀ I found this great article about it on CNN ➡️Kyoto, Japan (CNN) — "In Japan's Sagano Bamboo Forest, on the outskirts of Kyoto, towering green stalks of the famously versatile plant sway in the wind, creaking eerily they collide and twist, leaves rustling. The sun filters through the densely packed grove, projecting thin slashes of light onto the dozens of camera-clutching tourists shuffling down the wide trail that cuts through the middle of the forest as they awkwardly angle their shots, attempting to crop human forms out of their frames. Long gone are the days when you'd get this place to yourself when visiting Japan. A few years ago, the Ministry of Environment included the Sagano Bamboo Forest on its list of "100 Soundscapes of Japan" -- a selection of everyday noises intended to encourage locals to stop and enjoy nature's music."⠀ Read more about it here: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/sagano-bamboo-forest/index.html⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #kyotokimono #kimonolove #kimonolife #kimono #kyoto #japan #vintage #textiles #boutique #kimonofabric #vintagekimono #silk #fashion #unique #boho #bohostyle #fashionblogger #instafashion #vintagestyle #vintageshop #vintagefashion #vintagelovers https://www.instagram.com/p/B5BXlPoAY97/?igshid=yvptp7nst3sm
