Blooming Flowers on Red and White Juban

7’(H) X 6’ (W) 2025

Handcrafted Juban, Handcrafted and Stitched Resin Flowers

Juban is the undergarment worn beneath a Kimono. In Japan, the white Juban was traditionally worn for weddings, representing innocence and purity, whereas the red Juban was worn by prostitutes in the Samurai era. This piece brings both together - over 400 individually crafted resin flowers are decorated onto a hand-stitched Juban, cascading down and surrounding the piece. This dualistic depiction of womanhood is adorned with an abundance of flowers.
