DECONSTRUCTION OF JAPANESE KIMONO
Posted by MASAYO YASUKI
There are so many beautiful things in Japan. Some are new and some are old. Although, those old things are often left unused, as if they have been asleep for a long time. In the last few years, I have been revisiting Japan and the culture.
Many of those beautiful things are not as recognized or used in Japan. I have been thinking how we can repurpose them here in Australia. Not many Australian women may wear Kimono as is. But what if the objects are deconstructed and reworked as contemporary pieces?
Do you agree with the deconstruction of those beautiful vintage things or keep them as is? What are your thoughts?

I did not realise that all kimono’s are handmade – this is a beautiful dress…your grandmother is 103, you must have good genes. My father is starting to have more dementia and he has become more childlike – as we were when life was so different. Life is certainly a circle.
