Language difficulties
January 12, 2017
It is so difficult to view a Japanese site using Google and I have to use Google so that I can have them BADLY translated. I came across a reference to a Kogin stitching competition that was held this month (I think). From what I can gather it will be in the Amuse Museum in Toyoko. All that aside, there was a reference to the work of a "Mr Kamata Hikariten" and some illustrations of his work. Lots of curves.
And the other images show some fantastic work.
It is so frustrating just getting glimpses of this work and not being about to find out more. I suppose that's how the other 80% of net users who do not speak English feel as well.
Yes, it is frustrating when you want to read and can't, when you rely on machine translation and need a 'translator' to translate the translation!!!! Google Translate can make things even more of a mystery!
Fantastic curves and shading on these examples of kogin. Which website did you find them at?

I found the story on kogin-kogin.blogspot.com. This young man often has interesting stories on his blog.

What astonishing work - a sort of layering of the kogin patterns and canvaswork!
