Description

Inspired by his visit to Japan, Richard Tuttle worked with the FWM Studio during his 2014–15 residency to produce two editions of a hand-sewn yukata, or summer kimono: one for men and one for women. Made of sarashi cloth, a traditional Japanese cotton fabric, the editions’ pattern was chusen-dyed, a traditional Japanese method of dyeing using stencil paper. The pattern of the woman’s yukata design is a 90-degree rotation of the man’s design. As Tuttle explained, “By changing the direction of the bars, dynamic energy is achieved.” ⁠

Hand-sewn yukata with obi: chosen-dyed cotton and silk
Chusen-dyed by Miyamoto Co., Ltd., in Osaka, Japan
Yukata: 61 x 54 inches; obi: 3.9 x 157.5 inches 
Edition of 20, 4 Artist Proofs
