Japanese artists Takeshi Fukumura from Kyoto prefecture and Kaoru Sei from Fukuoka prefecture designed a kimono, a traditional Japanese robe, to honour and reflect Bangladesh's culture and heritage.
The design is part of "The Kimono Project" initiative by Imagine One World Organization, in honour of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The main theme is centered around the idea of "Golden Bengal." Dyed lotus flowers on a golden background with stunning ethnic embroidery, along with cotton and jute flowers, are visible in a
nakshi kantha design. One can also spot a Royal Bengal Tiger printed on the lower-half of the kimono.
The obi – a broad sash worn around the waist of the kimono – is inspired by the traditional Hakata weave, and is fully hand-woven bearing the colours of the Bangladeshi flag.
Fukumura designed the kimono while Sei crafted the obi.
