I once heard that, as part of introducing Japanese culture to the wives of foreign diplomats stationed in Japan, the wives of former ambassadors volunteered to create paper crafts using kimono fabric and chiyogami (traditional Japanese paper) on discarded paulownia boxes and other items, holding informal gatherings that also served a practical purpose. As part of this, I heard they also taught how to make tulips from kimono fabric. I was always excited for the gatherings where I could get these rarely available materials. The size, colors, and patterns of the tulips varied depending on the maker, which was also fun. Since these are quite old, many of the leaves are wrinkled. I think they might come back to life if you iron them at a low temperature. Even without that, since they use wire, I think you can improve the look just by slightly adjusting their direction. Flowers only. Vases and other items are not included. Size: Flowers...
