Here are CQJP blocks I finished recently. My theme is Japanese colour this year and the blocks are only seamstitched. But from the beginning I was planning each block would be combined with Yumeji Takehisa's illustration to make a fabric book. He was a very popular artist from the early 19c's in Japan. I looked for some suitable cards from my postcards colletion of his work for my blocks today.
Don't you think this card is perfect for the above block?
因みに1月のブロックにはこんな組み合わせです。
This is another example. A set of January block.
大学に入って上京したとき、最初雑司ヶ谷霊園の近くに住みました。よく墓地を散歩して有名な人々のお墓探しをしましたが、漱石や荷風の立派なお墓に比べ、小さな石に「竹久夢二を埋む」とだけ彫られた可愛らしいお墓を見つけたのが、夢二との最初の出会いでした。
When I started my college life in Tokyo, my room was very close to the Zoushigaya Cemetery, where lots of famous artists and writers were rested. I liked to wander around there to meet them oftenly and Yumeji was one of them. His grave was very small and pretty, I felt.
最終的に出来上がるのは来年の春頃になると思いますが、お楽しみに。
