1960s Fashion Print: A Sourcebook
I stumbled upon Itchiku Kubota's work when I saw this book come up repeatedly in my Amazon searches for kimono fashion. I decided to google his name and my breath was taken away by his masterpieces in textile art.
Itchiku Kubota was a kimono-designer who apprenticed from an early age. He was a siberian POW and got inspired to do his ichigahana series 'Symphonies of Light' when he returned to post-war Japan. He reinvented and updated the old resist dyeing technique of 14th century Japan in his monumental works and his studio, built across the lake viewing Mount Fuji, is a work of art in its own right as well.
Everything about this book is lovingly put together. It perfectly compliments and informs the reader on this gifted artist's lifework.
It was very hard for me to bring this book back to the library not just because I wanted to own it , but also because it had been such a long time since I'd found an artist that truly inspired me in both his work and as a person.
We truly lost a great talent.
