During more than 30 years of fine art quilt making, Jinzenji has
merged different cultural styles from the stitching handiwork of
the Amish and Mennonites to the patchwork alter cloths of her
native Japan.
The minimalism of her work adds to its
quiet power.
She uses antique fabrics collected from
around the world in some of her quilts and vibrant tropical
natural dyes or innovative synthetic in others. Her art is
exhibited around the world.
Yoshiko is the author of Quilt Artistry:
Inspired Designs from the East. This hardcover book has been
described as equaling her quilting in beauty and inspiration.
She lives in Kyoto, Japan and has a studio
in Bali, Indonesia.
