The kimono is a centuries old clothing form the wearing of which has often been considered an art. It has also been an inspiration for artists, it's form, it's flow, it's movement. Here are some of my favorites.

Itchiku Kubota began seeking the secret to an ancient dye process and ended up creating an artform never before seen.

Corinne Okada creates kimonos that are as much not there as there, balancing fabric and space.
