I am a Japanese enthusiast of kimonos and have been living in Lausanne since 2011. I am just a housewife who enjoys crafting handmade items as a hobby. Born in Japan, I have appreciated Japanese culture by studying floral arrangement, Japanese calligraphy, and learning how to wear a kimono. I have traveled to various places in Japan, enjoyed diverse cuisines and entertainment, and grew up experiencing Japanese life amidst various cultural influences. I have been crafting for over 40 years and have cherished kimonos for over 30 years. To help you appreciate the culture of Japan, where I was born and raised, I use kimonos, Japanese fabrics, washi paper, and other Japanese materials to create accessories, hair ornaments, bags, fabric accessories, simple two-piece kimonos, and kimono clothing. I craft my works by hand and aim to make my favorite kimono more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I would be delighted if everyone could enjoy and feel closer to Japan through my creations and ideas. Let’s together savor Japanese culture.
