Sanae Hattori studied Japanese embroidery at Joshi
Bijutsu (Women's College of Fine Arts) in Hachioji,
Japan, and concentrated on traditional design.
In 1978 she founded SANAE Art Studio, and began
reconstructing Japanese classical designs by using
American patchwork techniques. Hattori's
quilted uchikake have since become

"I used
the Japanese embroidery technique I learned at my
school for the cherry blossom centers.
Romanesque architectural design was used for the
entire work. The kimono is a fusion of
Japanese and European styles." |
