There’s everything from 19th-century crazy quilts to vintage napkins, even a bag of stretchy strings. All are fodder for her intricate textile works, a parallel practice to her floral-design studio.

Kyoto auf 53 Quadratmetern: In einem schmalen Gässchen von Nishijin liegt ein Machiya, das noch Geschichten erzählt – von Seide, Feuerstellen und dem Mut, Alt und Neu zu verbinden.

Irradia un caldo bagliore, e la facciata in legno offre uno scorcio fugace dei residenti.
