From the Author

A Gift from the Heart

Enter the world of things tiny but delightful. Since early times, the Japanese have believed that God lives in all things, no matter how small. It is in the most intricate of details that the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship is most evident. We strive to make our work perfect down to the smallest detail, for it is through our arts that we celebrate life, honor nature and offer thanks to God. A gift made from fabric is the most intimate I can give. It is made with the hands, but the good wishes it carries come only from the heart.
