Influenced by her
grandfathers who had been in Kimono business, Keiko's first interests was
fabric design, particularly the use fibers, yarns, and dyes.
She mastered kimono fabric
design/painting and fabric design for Western clothing. Her fabrics can be seen
in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and
have been appeared in Utsukushii Kimono (Beautiful Kimono) magazines.

Using her knowledge of Kimono fabric
making,
she illustrated holiday cards between 1996 and 2008. The series of cards
were made into an artist book, "Textiles & the Japanese Zodiac,"
with solar plate etching when she was in the United States. She also made a manuscript for children's
picture book, "Let's Wear a Kimono" from the series. |
