A one-of-a-kind cherry blossom purse made from cyanotype leather | Handmade at Handiworks in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture | Blog

This is a small purse made from our original cyanotype leather (photographed in Nikko) that has been dyed in-house.

I scattered cherry blossom petals from this year's season onto the leather and captured their silhouettes using the sunlight photography technique. I think I was able to express the transparency of the cherry blossom petals.

Due to the nature of the technique, each cyanotype item is a one-of-a-kind item. I made two this time, but one of them sold out quickly. I only have one left. Please come to the store and take a look at it. I look forward to seeing you.
