Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival (Part 3)

More goodness from the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival!

Look at all those lovely shades of blue!  Indigo was widely used for fabric dying in Japan, hence the reason many traditional Japanese textiles are blue.

Apologies for the sub-par composition on this shot.  Definitely not one of my best.  But look at all those varying shades of indigo.  And it’s a traditional Japanese wave pattern that can be found in fabric patterns, needlework, and even handmade textured paper.

What’s up next?  Photos of the special exhibit on indigo and the antique vintage (anyone know which term would be correct?) really old textiles on display.

May life continue to inspire you,

Miss Kaizer
