    I am very happy that this documentary was made. I had the pleasure of seeing these kimonos in person in 2018 when our local art gallery had them on display. I have many many photos of the kimono. I just could not get enough of seeing them. I visited the gallery 7 times while the kimonos were here in Grande Prairie Alberta Canada. I would even sit on the floor for hours just the be in the presence of such masterful textile art. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Kubota’s kimonos with this documentary.

    My father-in-law was a POW in Siberia, starting at age 15. He had a wretched home life, so he enlisted at age 14. He has described his time there as the best time of his life-can you imagine?

      While working on this dicumentary in Japan, I met an old man, who was at the age of 15-16 when he was sent to the POW camp in Siberia. He was captured not far from the battlefield, but he was not a soldier. He had very specific responsibilities in the female part of the camp. Those Russian and Ukrainian women were sent to the exile from the Soviet territories, which were occupied by Germans in times of WWII. During our conversation he was remembering his life in the camp as a kind of adventure. They were young and didn’t care mostly. They had the only dream to come back one day. And that day had come. Fortunately, for them.

      ​@@radikkudoyarov1129looks like Holy inquisition in The Middle ages. Young and beautiful women are guilty. Horrible part of the Soviet union story.

    Beautiful. I would have liked to have had longer to look at each of the kimonos. They are breathtaking. It is long time that textile art be considered as a fine art.

      I agree. Too much time is spent on images of the commentators, which could have been dedicated to more views of the kimonos. This is a common problem with many documentaries.

      Slow your speed down from NORMAL to .25 and remove the sound. Hope this is helpful to you.

    Stunning art. Such a vast vision to create sequences of kimono with a single image spread across them. Massive visual impact.

    Intensely emotional work. Inspiring. New to me despite many years enjoying Japanese culture, it feels overhwelming. Welcome video.

    1:23 I would like to point out that nowadays it has been proven that potato peels contain most of the vitamins and nutrients of the potato.
    … fascinating, isn’t it?
    ❤ beautiful presentation, I just found your channel👏👍

    • @acebilbo

      Yes, there is a story of the family in Washington state during the depression who all starved to death except for the daughter who took the potato peels out to the compost and ate them.

      @acebilbo 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol… indeed.
      thank you kindly for proving my point🥰🖖👏
      Here’s another story for you : in the middle ages, with the bubonic plague … the elites who barricaded themselves in their castles and ate refined (bleached) bread and sugar loaded foods - contracted the plague and died due to low immunity.
      But the peasants, who ate whole wheat bread and non refined foods - boosting their immunity - survived in much larger numbers.

    I am do happy too see this great Artist and his work. I am very much in Love with the Japanese Culture. I was already lucky too have seen a Exibition in a museum in Berli (10 years ago) about Naturally dyed silk for kimonos hand-dyed and hand-woven from natural fibers. That was also very impressive. But I would also like too see those Kimonos in real. Dont get it that a Russian Person is know the owner of this Art.

      It doesn't matter what nationality the person who saved the Artist's collection of masterpieces from sale is: whether he is Russian, English, German or French. By the way, Pattokh Choliev is an ethnic Uzbek, if anyone is interested. Thanks to the philanthropist’s act, we, among thousands of other people, are able to enjoy the Kubota kimonos up to nowadays.

      This can serve as an example to you:

    It's strange that they show experts talking instead of the artist's work! Disappointing

      @annemoar5743 17 дней назад

      Why? Aren't you interested in the history and those people who knew him and learned from him? You can always pause to view his works. Or study them in other sources 😊

    Would have liked more time spent on the process of making these kimono, from original idea to the finished garment. A bit disappointing for me.
