The swallow pattern on this mid-20th century kimono, rendered in cream against a deep blue ground, exemplifies the Japanese principle of negative space composition, where the birds appear to emerge from and dissolve back into the textured background in a dynamic dance of form and void.
The highly textured fabric surface creates an almost pointillistic effect that recalls both traditional Japanese textile techniques like shibori and the experimental surface treatments explored by modernist designers of the period. The swallow motif carries profound symbolic resonance in Japanese culture, representing loyalty, good fortune, and the promise of return. Swallows are also harbingers of spring and summer, making them especially appropriate for a lightweight summer kimono. The birds' graceful, sweeping forms distributed across the textile create a sense of movement and freedom that contrasts beautifully with the structured geometry of the kimono's construction. Aesthetically, the design reflects the influence of Art Deco and early modernist movements in its bold contrast, stylized natural forms, and emphasis on pattern as surface decoration rather than representational imagery. The use of rayon, a relatively new synthetic fiber during this period, speaks to Japan's embrace of industrial innovation while maintaining traditional craft sensibilities. The textile's textured surface, visible in the detail images, creates a tactile quality that adds depth and visual interest, transforming what might have been a simple two-color design into something far more complex and engaging. This piece represents a perfect synthesis of traditional Japanese aesthetics with the material and stylistic innovations of the modern era.

Textile-style artwork inspired by Charlie Angus’s post about record atmospheric water vapour. A curved, embroidered ocean fills the bottom as thousands of extremely fine red, yellow and dark-blue threads symbolically rise from the water and spread through the white atmosphere. Angus cites reporting that the increase over the previous record is equivalent to about 20 trillion litres of additional atmospheric water. Across the ocean, in large neon-yellow stitching: #NotToMentionTheMicroplastics. The Guardian reports that global heating and strong El Niño conditions contributed to the August 2026 record

Ainu woman of Old Japan. Hand-colored photo. About 1920’s
Seated in a quiet, dignified pose, a young Ainu woman looks forward with a serene, composed gaze in a hand-colored glass slide from the 1920s. She is dressed in a traditional robe (chikarkarpe) woven with bands of muted slate, ochre, and indigo, accented by a broad, deep violet collar band. The oversized sleeves feature dark applique panels decorated with white embroidery rendering spiraling moreu (scroll motifs) and sharp ayus (thorn-like flourishes). Around her neck rests a rekutunpe (choker) strung with brass disks, paired with a longer strand of trade-glass beads (tama-sai), while large brass hoop earrings (ninkari) dangle beside her cheekbones. Subtle blue-black pigment encircles her lips—the traditional sinuye (sacred facial tattoo)—framed by softly waving hair against a lush backdrop of shadowed foliage. The Aini are the indigenous people of Hokkaido (Ainu Mosir), Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands. During this era of state-sponsored modernization and rapid assimilation policies, traditional practices such as sinuye—performed by female elders to mark a young woman's spiritual maturity and readiness for adulthood—were increasingly prohibited. Early 20th-century ethnographic portraiture thus preserves a critical visual record of Ainu textile traditions, which evolved from indigenous attus (elm-bark fiber cloth) into intricate, appliquéd cotton garments. In Ainu worldview, all natural phenomena, tools, and garments are inhabited by spiritual beings (kamuy), making the crafting of robes a sacred dialogue between human maker and the natural world. Aesthetically, the garment represents an indigenous expression of monozukuri (artisanal mastery), where technical skill serves spiritual protection. The embroidery placed intentionally around garment openings—cuffs, necklines, and hems—functions as a protective kekkai (sacred boundary), guarding the wearer’s vital energy (ramat) from malevolent spirits (wen-kamuy).

About five years ago, my wife took a community center pottery class and fell in love. Since then she’s gotten really serious about the craft and now has her own wheel and kiln. I love what she makes so much. Take a look:

Day 10 #SciArtSeptember: woad. My #SciArt #embroidery, cell map (2020), has some woad (blue/green) elements in the linen and in the stitching.
An embroidery of the diagram of a cell on blue linen. the details are in whites, blues, turquoise, burgundy, green, and deep orange. The labels are poetic text instead of scientific terms. From bottom right around to bottom left it reads: Pair of pleases. Chance it some. Chromatic & new to us (carries us some of the way) New to us. Chromatic nets. Please remember. Vacant. Reticent about apparent goals. The centre. Where sometimes we met. Two of us. Sector illustrating the firm approach to pleasure. Caring pleases. New to us. Remember. True newness (pleasure). Sector illustrating sides to where time ran and had pleasure.

First day of the Bayeux Tapestry/ Embroidery at the British Museum & I was there! More restful to see it in France (which we did years ago) but v special to see it again. Nothing like being able to see individual stitches!
