Although there are many Japanese quilt, I always feel itchy. Yes, I can smell a Japanese scent, but not my taste. Too chic.
Last year, my friend, who is Japanese staying here for long time and started learning quilt, asked me to design a Japanese style quilt. She said she hadn't bothered her origin at the beginning of her life in this country, but had got admired her own background. So, she wanted make her own Japanese quilt not big, not difficult, but lovely.
I totally understood her feeling and designed for not only her but also me.
I call it bento style quilt as a joke because the black frame looks like bento box.
For me, the black frame means my great-grand father's antique shelf that was always forbidden to touch by him. I could just take a glance from the door. In the shelf, there were some antique potteries. it seemed a treasure box for me.
I picked up blue unconscious, but it may come from his blue plates.
The treasure was never inherited. Now they are in the show case of a museum.
This "AO" is one of two quilts of my Japanese quilt. AO means blue and I picked two blue fabric which color are, I think, more Japanese-ish.
Quilting lines are inspired from Sashiko, Japanese traditional quilting technique.
