Knock on Woods with Yoko Shimura

Yoko used traditional kimono dying techniques, using berries and coffee from the local environment as dyes. She transformed the Knock on Woods tent-cabin into a fitting room where her goods were displayed. She also did a dye workshop inviting the public to participate and learn this traditional technique.
