My very first try on sashiko, a traditional japanese embroidery technique. Still figuring out how it works, but for the first piece, this little sakura blossom is not too bad, I guess? ^_^'

Fukusa with Carp in Waves (波鯉図刺繍袱紗) - details

Gift Cover (Fukusa) with Carp in Waves, 1868–1912. Japan, Meiji period (1868-1912). Silk: embroidered; metallic thread; overall: 87.3 x 71.8 cm (34 3/8 x 28 1/4 in.) The motif of carp in rough water originated in China. The expression ��carp jumping over the Dragon Gate” (liyu tiao longmen) refers to attaining success in life, or, historically, to passing the imperial examinations for civil service. In Japan, therefore, a gift cover (fukusa) like this would have been appropriate to celebrate the recipient’s achievements.

Robe (Kosode)

Early 17th Century

This sumptuous robe is among the earliest extant kosode (garment with small sleeve openings). The natural scenery of Japan’s coast, with its beaches strewn with shells and sea grass, inspired the delicate embroidered design. The foundation fabric, woven in an intricate key-fret pattern with floral motifs, was likely imported from China in its white, undecorated state. It was then resist dyed to achieve the effect of irregular sandbanks, and the marine motifs were embroidered on top. The alternating bands of light blue were further embellished with gold-leaf accents.

Romantic antique summer kimono with swooping tsubame (swallow) by yanagi (willow) - you can see woven in the background what might be dewy tsuwabuki leaves (Japanese silver plant).

The obi is an antique summer maru obi (base was probably whiter in the past) with luscious embroidery. I am not certain of what the pattern is, I see kaiawase (matched shells) with summery and auspicious “painted” details.  The flowery pattern is hana katsumi (geometrical leaves and flowers, stylised plant of rice family).

Look at this beautiful project in Japan to design new Kimono models inspired by traditional Palestinian clothes! 🇵🇸 

Some of the project's creations were displayed at a charity bazaar in Tokyo and the founder has been very vocal about Palestine, sharing posts in support with fundraising 🇵🇸 

This is a very worthy group project, of communion of ideas, talent and cultures. Some kimono collars were embroidered by refugee woman in Ramallah, West Bank.

Check the official page where they sell the costumes and even the embroidery if you want to show support: https://www.facebook.com/100057255738695/posts/pfbid02zweY1AM5n1EciiLSTga6QKo8trE2PgZMaLLHqEJWKSeAMGqtxRMNjKU7FYLV8eLHl/
