KI-MONO westernism to japanism,a ”ki” reconstruction
KI-MONO Reconstruction aims at re-designing something so Japanese and untouched as a kimono garment. To create new aesthetics and ideals of beauty, a platform for both the cultures to meet.
Becomes here a canvas on which to paint freely and unrestricted, to combine western and eastern cultural aspects, visual traditions, roots, preferences and ideals of beauty while creating a new space beyond East and West.

celebrating cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. to
remind us that we are all but transient beings on this planet that our bodies as well as the material world
around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came.
Through wabi-sabi, we embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent.

to make this gorgeous large and small kimono-becoming-interior piece eva has stitched together, around 55 old handwoven kitchen towels, by hand
Chiy Ono studied for years but was unable to find enlightenment. One night, she was carrying an old pail filledwith water watching the full moon reflected in the water. Suddenly, the bamboo strips that held the pail together broke the water rushed out the moon’s reflection disappeared and Chiyono became enlightened.
She said: ....This way and that way I tried to keep the pail together, hoping the weak bamboo would never brake.

"Hase-Hime, do you know that your mother cannot live any longer? Though I die, you must grow up a good girl. Perhaps your father will marry again and someone will fill my place as your mother. If so do not grieve for me, but look upon your father's second wife as your true mother, and be obedient and filial to both her and your father. Remember when you are grown up to be submissive to those who are your superiors, and to be kind to all those who are under you. Don't forget this. I die with the hope that you will grow up a model woman."

Not long after the death of his first wife, Prince Toyonari married again, a lady of noble birth named Princess Terute. ….
