What's so different about Japanese Quilting? 😮

Japan is a very resourceful country. 100+ million people on a tiny land mass means that the Japanese people have become very thrifty, with tricks to make most out of any space, and also a rather complicated system of waste disposal.

This need for thrifty is reflected in Japanese quilting, where it relatively rare to find a quilt that hasn’t been made from scraps and/or many different, small, pieces of fabric. Whether intentionally scrappy, or thrifty buying of small selections of fabric, there is a sharp contrast between more “cohesive” quilts with the same line or style of fabric (such as solids), and those that are a glorious riot of colour and prints.

the beautiful Osaka Castle! Who has visited here before?

Osaka Castle and the pleasant park grounds surrounding it make for a relaxing escape from the city's concrete sprawl. Ascend to the top of castle keep tower to look over the expansive castle grounds and neighboring skyscrapers. Or bring a bento box and enjoy a picnic surrounded by groves of cherry and apricot trees which are amazing in bloom in the spring.

What's different about Japanese Quilting? 😮

There is a big focus on hand work. This is due in part to the history of sewing in Japan with the classic sashiko and other embroidery styles employed in Japanese sewing. Whether it was on a beautiful kimono, or practically used to create warm clothes by adding layers and heavy stitching, hand sewing is ingrained in Japanese culture.
