It has been a pleasant stay at Kurenai-kai and other places. I had quiet yet stimulating stitching experiences in the nature, great conversation with colleagues, and of course the food and beer at the bar was exceptional!

The Japanese embroidery and ikebana exhibition was held for a day. The flower and embroidery are great matches for each other from the old days. We are very fortunate to be able to collaborate at Georgia State University. And we are looking forward to working with you again! #japaneseembroidery #ikebana #artexhibition #silkthread #metallicthread https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxLGZmFf7K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9kwtfieog67r

Spring has come! Since the signature oak tree has died and crumbled, we planted cheery tree to somewhat replace the position. And a few years later, the beautiful flowers have bloomed🌸 #cherryblossom #oaktree https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMYq36Ac9L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1insqx3fk5hoh

Five stitchers are working quite hard on creating this new phase l on kimono fabric which will be ready for the teachers class in autumn 2019. The main motif is the butterfly wishing the beginning stitchers to transform anew just as the metamorphosis of butterfly through the practice of Japanese embroidery. #japaneseembroidery #kimono #butterfly #goldleafing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bue4StNglLO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p5o2ubii1ro3
