Stainless Steel and Sterling Silver Kimono
Since we expect kimono garments to be soft and made of fabric, it’s rare to see one made of metal and still retain a look that reflects the traditional qualities. Miya Ando‘s awesome piece has been made by hand-soldered over 4000 sterling silver rings and stainless steel plates to make a ‘Furisode‘ (long sleeve) kimono.
