"Omiyage" by Kumiko Sudo

Handmade Gifts from Fabric in the Japanese Tradition.

"Enter the world of things tiny but delightful. I find that it is the most intricate of details that the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship is the most evident.  No matter how small, a gift made from fabric is the most intimate that I can give. It is made with the hands, but the good wishes it carries come only from the heart."
