10,000 feet above sea – five months straight – four years in a row. For 600 days Yu Yamauchi lived in a hut near the summit of Mt. Fuji, getting up while it was still dark to photograph the sunrise every day, from the same location. The resulting series, titled “DAWN,” is a stunning look at the colorful, sometimes abstract view of Earth waking up.
The series is on display at Miyako Yoshinaga gallery in New York through November 21, 2012.
A simple black and white kimono like this can be put with nearly any obi and you can take it from graphically modern to lacy/flowery, but with such high contrast in the kimono itself it could be difficult to pair it with very delicate vintage obi or something very gentle.
Using extreme contrast in black and white can be a challenge to put it with an obi that gives the “feel” you want. Here the mostly black and geometric obi (the flowers are mostly circular, arranged in a grid) doesn’t challenge the kimono much—all the color contrast is in the obiage and obijime, bringing in totally new colors (reddish pink and green).
The more contrast, the more festive a kimono looks. This would be fun to wear shopping or to a fall matsuri.
