This work is inspired by the twinkling stars in the night sky. The base is a traditional Kurume Kasuri indigo, dyed several dozen times. It is contrasted with the white weaves of the tate-yoko-kasuri and the grayish-white weaves of the weft-kasuri that are brought to the foreground. The combination of the light indigo tate-yoko-kasuri and the moderate space between them create a sense of 3D and movement.

Using the traditional Kurume Kasuri, tate-yoko-kasuri pattern technique, the circular pattern is divided into four styles, each inspired by the moon of the four seasons. The pattern is dyed with natural indigo and bayberry, and each section is dyed in gradation to express the transition of the seasons.

This work is a design of seasonal flowers. The abstract flowers are expressed in the tate-yoko-kasuri pattern, contrasting with the weft-kasuri flower pattern, which creates a sense of 3D and expanse. The gradation of natural indigo is overlaid with bayberry dye, adding a transition from yellow to green, resulting in a new type of chromatic expression with a softness that has never been seen in Kurume Kasuri.

This work is inspired by a galaxy expanding in the night sky. The tate-yoko-kasuri (vertical and horizontal kasuri) gathered in the centre of the pattern gives depth to a flat design. By layering natural indigo dye over 40 times and adding light indigo, deep hues and a sense of transparency are created. This contrasts with the white of the kasuri and expresses both dignified strength and unique softness.

This work expresses spring by contrasting the fine, traditional Kurume Kasuri 'arare' (hail) patterns, with boldly and simply dyed vertical sections that consist of alternating indigo. This indigo colour is achieved by limiting the amount of dyeing, and vertically flowing gradations are achieved by herb-dyeing with bayberry.
