He would teach us how to read Mayan hieroglyphs and explain the fascinating culture of Maya (ancient and contemporary). These trips undoubtedly influenced my aesthetics. Another influence was Japanese aesthetics, traditional and modern. The cleanliness of design, its relentless simplification, and its wab-sabi sentiment. These influences are so fundamental to me that I cannot begin to untangle and pin point them. And my father, Hideo Kojima, was a great inspiration and a guide for me on so many things, including natural dyes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da794bbae0a807795a11792/1595458845813-6CI1009HKF9096UHC5IX/image-asset.jpeg About - The Indigo Rabbit Hole The indigo rabbit hole that I have fallen into, is a deep one. The process of batik and indigo is rather simple, but, there is so much you can do! I started with simple designs, but, recently have found myself drawn to more complex and intricate design. More work, but, very rewarding. Also, I am starting to experiment with combining shibori (traditional Japanese shape-resist technique) with batik. I understand that this is not common and is shunned by some hardline traditionalists, but, I am surprised that there aren’t more people doing this combination. It is very exciting and the creative opportunity widens exponentially. https://www.studioken.art/contact daily 0.75 2020-07-22 https://www.studioken.art/the-process daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da794bbae0a807795a11792/2fb354d3-b577-411d-9af1-1875409d324f/IMG_8860.jpg The Process - See no evil, talk no evil, hear no evil monkey. Madder + marigold. Then, resist, tannin black (for the lines).
