Totally absorbing programme on the Beeb about handmade items from Japan.

The first was the steps that had to be taken to make a sword. From the inital smelting of the iron right through to the polishing and sharpening.

The second episode was about the silk kimono.

A friend of mine has a good few kimonos but hers are painted.

The silk in this episode was different to that. The pattern was actually woven into the fabric. A bit like Jaquarde I suppose.

It was all hand made, every step of the way. It takes about a year to complete one kimono at a cost of some £5,000.

The result was stunning.

If you can get it on playback, I can recommend a good documentary. Well done the BBC.
