Chieko Orimoto

Chieko Orimoto has been collecting Kangas in East Africa for 20 years. The cloths presented in this photograph collection have been carefully selected from that period. In her words:

The more you get to know about kanga, the more it fascinates you. And although it is just a piece of cloth, each and every kanga tells its own very special tale. I wish from the bottom of my heart that this collection will get more people to feel the beauty of kanga designs, get more people interested in kanga in particular and Swahili culture in general.
