Inspired by “Thousand-persons-stitches”, I designed the clothes.
Thousand-persons-stiches is a motif found often in Japanese novels
written by post-war writers such as Osamu Dazai.
Its name derives from the fact that people whose family or partner went to a battle field sewed
a thousand stitches to
a piece of cloth and had them carry it for luck.
All the textiles used in this collection were made at that time.
To embody the idea of anti-war, I cut up the material used for samurai’s kimono to distort them
and applied the technique of thousand-persons-stitches
which represented how women had felt back then to reconstruct them.
