着物で世界をひとつに！平和への壮大な夢が詰まったKIMONOプロジェクトとは？！ | ［楽活］rakukatsu - 日々楽シイ生活ヲ
Kimono by 大羊居 Taiyokyo
The creation of this kimono was carried out together with the fourth grade (9 to 10 y/o) students of Taimei Elementary School in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and Tokyo Yuzen 大羊居, which has been in existence since the Edo period (1603-1868). The design features Indian elephants, peacocks, the Taj Mahal, lotus and other motifs that are typical of India, peeping through the silhouette of a window frame. The sun shines brightly on the right shoulder. The designs drawn by children are placed in the right places to create a dreamy and interesting impression.

「インド」に込めた技術と想い Kimono Project - CAMPFIRE (キャンプファイヤー)
Obi by 宮岸織物 監修 帛撰 Miyagishi-Orimono, Supervised by Hakusen
The theme is 'A paradise of fertility'. A rich nature with various flowers blooming and birds flying around, the paradise of life is woven in an exotic and bright colour scheme based on a bright yellow ground colour.
The fact that the kimono, designed with the children, is so cute is proof of the children's own ingenuity and thought, and I'd like to thank everyone involved. As I think it would be blessing that if children could be children in their own way.
I'm taking a short break from translation😪 It seems that the kimonos of African countries already have translations in English or French. Enjoy!
