Biei - The Pension Gallery

A great two night stop in a cottage Japanese style, eating and sleeping. Here is the gallery in the name.

And this is the art work.

Patchwork with threads sewn in to make the finer forms .

These pieces can take up to a month to create.

The artist, an octogenarian and still with a passion for her art.

My favourite piece which took a winter to complete. Size 18in by 12 in.  Each pink flower is a separate piece of material, all identically cut.  Amazing talent and patience she has.
