Kimono textiles and hanao
Interest in kimono textiles can enter the world of geta through hanao, where textile craft meets woodcraft in one object.
What to observe
Read weave, dye, motif, and colour independently from the wooden platform. Record provenance or reuse only where it is documented.
Thinking as a collection
For collaborations, naming both the woodworker and textile maker, their techniques, and year reveals the chain of value.
