Emiko Fujimoto has been making quilts in the Satsuma region of Japan for over 40 years. She mainly uses Japanese vintage fabrics. Her work reflects a deep love for the region and for her materials. "When there's a beautiful pattern, I try to preserve it in my work," she says.
In this Textile Talk, Fujimoto is interviewed by Naomi Ichikawa. We see several quilts and textile hangings around her home and studio, and take a tour of her vintage fabric stash. Fujimoto and Ichikawa educate us about the fabrics and motifs as they go.
This presentation is given in Japanese with English subtitles.
Textile Talks features weekly presentations and panel discussions from the International Quilt Museum, Quilt Alliance, Studio Art Quilt Associates, and Surface Design Association. The programs are held online at 2 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Pacific) each Wednesday.
