Cubist trees, kigi in a freeform lattice
Lattices enclosing floral or vegetal motifs have been a classic design layout for centuries, if not millennia in Japan. Here a freeform lattice encloses Cubist inspired trees with multicoloured square leaves, alternating between blue and green. The change in leaf colour and the variation in the lattice give the kimono a modern jazzy feel.
