Today with two friends I visited Kimoyes in Canberra Australia and the own Jill pulled out some amazing vintage kimono pieces to show us. This is a detail of a small section.

Textile books

I have a serious obsession with textiles and also with textile books. My books shelf has had a major clear out as I cannot keep all the books I have. I just don't have to room to store them. I thought I would share with you some of my textile books occasionally. I hope you enjoy the selection.I do love Japanese textiles and collect Obi.
