Created by acclaimed Kaga-Yuzen master Kakimoto Ichiro (柿本市郎) for the 42nd Traditional Kaga-Yuzen Crafts Exhibition, Shirobana Higan ("White Spider Lily") is a tour de force of high-craft textile art.

Executed as a furisode and displayed in full eba-moyō layout—where the pattern flows seamlessly across every seam—the garment exemplifies the supreme painterly discipline of Kaga-Yuzen. Unlike Kyoto’s Kyo-Yuzen, which frequently incorporates gold leaf (kinhaku) or heavy embroidery to heighten luxury, Kaga-Yuzen relies purely on dye technique, precise line drawing (itome-yuzen), and delicate shading (bokashi) to achieve its depth and quiet drama. Set against a rich indigo-navy (kon-iro) silk ground, the composition explodes with the rhythmic vitality of white spider lilies (Lycoris albiflora). Crisp, luminous white petals with delicately recurved tips and soaring, thread-like stamens dominate the upper shoulders and hem. Kakimoto achieves extraordinary atmospheric dimension by silhouetting these crisp foreground blooms against shadowy, speckled background blossoms rendered in soft lavender and slate-violet hues. Slender, mint-green and seafoam stems rise vertically through the composition, anchoring the sweeping, buoyant motion of the petals and gold-tipped filaments. Inspired by the arresting sight of pale spider lilies standing resolutely amid a sea of vibrant red blooms, Kakimoto translates a fleeting moment of natural wonder into a profound study of resilience and poise. The stark contrast between the luminous white floral forms and the midnight-blue background creates a dramatic, almost nocturnal glow, capturing both the fragile elegance and unwavering spirit of the autumn flower.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Doesn't seem like I got a lot done today despite putting in 6 hrs. Doing a lot of underpainting on the feathers and went back into the head to get more volume. In progress: "untitled (commission)", oil on canvas, 12x16" #art #birds #wip #sciart
