The Kubota Collection's Key Works Are on Display at the Tokyo National Museum - Seite 2

"We are very proud that Itchiku's creative genius, his willingness to step outside the conventional boundaries of design, his distinctive use of colour and his intense commitment to his craft won him international recognition as one of the most important Japanese textile artists of the 20^th century. His radical and transformative concept of the kimono as a work of art can be seen in some of the pieces from his 'Symphony of Light' collection, showcased at this exhibition."

"Kimono: Fashioning Identities" exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum will be open until 23 August 2020.
