Articles of Interest

Like many of our loyal followers, those of us at Cherry Blossom are passionate about Japanese culture – particularly kimono, textiles and washi paper.

When time allows, we read and research an area of interest and endeavour to present it in an easily understood format on this website. Sometimes articles comprise mere snippets of information but we hope you find them interesting.

We readily admit we are not experts – just people who have a fascination for Japanese design! If you have a well researched article you would like to share with us and our members, please feel free to contact us.  Likewise, we would love to hear your recommendations for books and films.
