Modeled in 3D modeling software Blender and fashion designing software CLO3D by artist Ana Cordoba Crespo, this project imagines a timeline in which the Meiji era saw more of a collaboration and exchange between the Japanese and indigenous Ainu. Artists Elisa Palomino-Perez and Ana Cordoba Crespo wonder: what if Japanese traditions like indigo Katazome dyeing had blended with the Ainu traditions of crafting fish skin garments?
