Yesterday’s invitation to a special event at Table of Contents with designer Chiyo Takahashi of  Crazy Wind, inspired me to learn more about Japanese or Indigo ikat design. Chiyo, along with her mother, sources  authentic kasuri fabrics (the japanese name for ikat,) and creates these great modern pieces that look like something you’d wear every day.
