Re: kesa exhibition in Kyoto
Wow! That is amazing, Thank you for sharing your trip!!
I looked over the link to the museum exhibit some very very old thread there, I can only imagine work in to those (Esp. the 25 stripe done with much more tricky equipment than we are accustom to)

Re: kesa exhibition in Kyoto
Hello friends,
Rev. Taigu, thank you for posting this. It is very heartening to see, if only digitally, the Dogen's Kesa. For me, anyway, it really brings home how there is not much separating "now" and "then."
It's like a mirror. I see my own consternation with the fabric in his robe. :shock:
Much metta,
Perry

Shohei always says what I was going to say. Well, great minds think...um, something. ;)
Thank you Taigu...for this and all your teachings.

Thanks Taigu
This is a bit of synchronicity, as I recently took some pupils to sashiko textiles exhibition. Please see link;
http://www.sashiko.org.uk/exhibitions-and-events.php
The kesa was mentioned but there were no examples, only some beautifully patterned clothing worn as by fishermen, farmers and labourers using small stitching that was incredible to behold particularly after the thumb numbing experiences of starting a rakasu!
