Takeshi Kitamura is a legend in the world of Japanese weaving.
Born in 1935 in Nishijin, he began his career after graduating from junior high school.
He is now a Living National Treasure whose work has been exhibited around the world.
At the National Museum of Modern Art Kyoto there is now an exhibit devoted to his work.
"Kitamura Takeshi: Master of Contemporary Weaving" runs until October 30 and costs 850 yen for adults.
The pieces themselves are wonderful, the display excellent.
