Kazuyo's collection - vinatge kimono sash

Hi, this time, I introduce my work. The picture shows the 3 vintage kimono sashes which has a long history. The sash is over 100 years, such as your great grand mother.

The first stage was a wedding gown. a long time ago, it was so expensive to have silk textiles for the Japanese general people . So, after wedding ceremony, general people remade the gown to kimono sash and used the sash for a whole life at special occasion.

I like very much about these recycle culture. That's a reason why I am making vintage kimono bag and other crafts with vintage kimono. we can use the old kimono as the vintage kimono bags at the 21st century!!
