AtelierKanawa was the featured seller some weeks back for hand-crafting these beautiful hair pieces that go with traditional kimono/geisha outfits. (I'm sure there's a specific name for them.) But what caught my eye was this kimono bamboo basket purse that she hand dyes using a Bingata Katazome technique (see the bottom of the purse listing). This other kimono bamboo basket purse has a picture of what the entire outfit would look like.And if you're interested, she's got a couple of articles on Japanese origami techniques and traditional Japanese crafts.
