Kimono ikasu Wall Decorations

"ikasu" is contemporary kimono textile art that reconstructs antique and vintage kimono that have fulfilled their role, transforming them into art that continues to exist beyond time. 

By translating the memories, craftsmanship, and stories embedded within kimono into contemporary spaces, the project creates works intended to be passed down to future generations.

The term "ikasu" (生かす) translates to "revive" or "give a second life" in Japanese. 

The artist behind ikasu is Lena Okamoto, a textile artist who holds a Kimono Meister certification.
