appliqué detail

Many years ago, when I was living in Kyoto, I bought this handcrafted appliqué wall hanging at a temple flea market. I admired the intricate craftsmanship of the artist, a very self-effacing Japanese homemaker. Many of the fabric pieces came from old kimono and furoshiki wrapping cloth. It now lives with my daughter.
