I made my original rubber stamps, but never used…
Last week when I went to muji, the shop gave me tiny bags for freebie.
Soramame stamp ink can use for paper, cloth, leather and terra-cotta.
It’s a chance for DIY freebie bag!
Put the stamp, dry some time, and iron it.
It’s really easy and fun!

Our leader and bag designer, Yoko Tsukamatsu published new book of koginzashi. Koginzashi is a traditional and exquisite embroidery works from Northern part of Japan.
This book was written by Yoko and culinary artist Ricca Fukuda. They team up the unit named “Fugeiten“.
Fugeiten re-appreciated Mingei movement(the Japanese folk art movement in the late 1920s and 1930s in Japan). And now they re-produce koginzashi with modern attitude.
They suggest how to stitch koginzashi on bags, jeans and scarfs on this book. Now available on Amazon.co.jp
