Influenced by her
grandfathers who had been in Kimono business, Keiko's first interests was
fabric designs.
She mastered kimono fabric
design/painting: fabric design for Western clothing using fibers, yarns,
prints, lace, and any of those combinations: and garment making.
Some of her designed
fabrics can be seen as a permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and in Utsukushii Kimono (Beautiful Kimono) magazines. |

In
her spare time, she draws illustrations.
She has been working on holiday cards for the last 12
years. She made an artist book,
Textiles & the Japanese Zodiac," from those holiday cards. She now works on a children's picture book,
" Let's Wear a Kimono" based on ideas of her book project. |
