Dr. Tony Silvestri from Washburn University showed us how he’s keeping this complex craft alive today. Offered in conjunction with "Telling Stories", our current book art exhibit.
Gown #11 From the 1490s
Item #11 = 1490s - Wedding Tunic
Made of silk fabric and silk cording, the tunic woud have had a longer skirt under the top. Empire waist with a'la' mamelouk gathered sleves and van Dyke point embelleshments near the hem. This gown was made in Germany and was part of the Arizona Jewish pioneer Cerf family. Originally thought to be from the united States in the 1700s, the gown has recently been restored and dated by The National Textile Workshop. The green color on the dress is the salvage dye common to the 1400s in Germany and becomes more visible with age.
Brown spots on the fron tof the gown are caused by the age of the fbric and human hands touching the fabric, leaving a residue of oil that eventually will rot the threads if not preserved. There is no known technique to remove the stain.

Snyder, commissioner of parks, moved it to Gage Park in 1933, as part of the Old Settler’s Memorial Grounds. The heirs of Guilford Gage donated 80 acres of land to Topeka in 1899. The deed stated that the park was for the "benefit of the health, comfort and recreation of the citizens of Topeka and their friends...” Gage Park is now home to the Topeka Zoo and Helen Hocker Theater, and lovely rose parks. 75.1.21

"deeply honored" (2011)
Paper, silkscreen, fabric
Edition of 26; Strong Silent Type Press, Minneapolis, MN
TSCPL Permanent Collection
"deeply honored" is a story about the internment of Japanese Americans during the war. Carleton College took in several students under scholarship in order to get them out of internment camps.
Carleton’s first such student was Frank Shigemura, who enlisted after one great year at Carleton. He was killed in France. After the war, his parents were released and returned to Seattle. They appreciated what Carleton had done for their son, so they began a string of contributions to the College. This added up over the years, until the College President discovered that they were living in poverty and were giving a large portion of the income to the school. He tried (without success) to discourage them from any more contributions. Carleton has a scholarship in his name, and a room in his honor in our memorial hall. When his parents died, they left anything they had to Carleton.
The book is about this tremendous family and what they did in the face of one of the great injustices of our history. "deeply honored" is a phrase from Mrs. Shigemura. The text is from archival letters, including those of Mrs. Shigemura to the school.

Frogs and toads are very common in China. The three-legged toad in Chinese mythology is said to exist only in the moon, which it swallows during the eclipse. It therefore is the symbol for the unattainable.

Since words bat and good luck are pronounced the same in Chinese, the bat is a symbol of longevity and good luck. Five bats represent the Five Blessings: longevity, ease, riches, honors and joy.
A deer is the symbol of long life and is the only animal able to find the sacred fungus of immortality. It may also symbolize wealth, as deer and official salary are homophones (pronounced the same) in Chinese. To give a gift of a deer to an official taking a placement exam is to wish them luck with their potential raise.
