This dragon is a limited edition of 30 unique puppets. The wings are made from the fabric of repurposed vintage kimono, with silk Japanese fabric adorning the front of this dragon. There are two different silk fronts to choose from in this limited series.
Traditionally, the fabric from Kimono is reused and repurposed. I was inspired by this tradition and bought myself a vintage kimono in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan. The kimono was taken apart carefully to preserve the fabric, and long strips were then cut to make the wings and fin of each individual dragon. One Kimono provided enough fabric for 30 unique dragon puppets.
