Kara Yamaguchi is an Australian artist based in Kyoto, Japan. She studied Japanese kimono sewing for 5 years with a special emphasis on learning how to make garments from ancient Nara. She has recreated the essence of the Manyoshu time in recreating these garments, but her costumes are constructed with modern day fabrics and color schemes to reflect the connection of all human life, past, present and future.
