    KYOTO, JP In September, I had a special visit with Yoshiko Jinzenji in her home up in the mountains outside Kyoto.

    We toured her gorgeous custom-built house and of course, went through dozens of her stunning quilts.

    Needless to say, an afternoon spent digging through these treasures—touching them, running my hands over her impeccable stitching, noticing the million tiny details—was priceless.

    Yoshiko Jinzenji began making quilts around 1970 and in fact, she has recently retired from quilt making and is focusing her creative talent on cooking. Her prolific quilt career over more than four decades, and her incredible vision and innovation, offer contemporary quilt historians a rich legacy.

    Yoshiko has finely tuned her minimalist palette and infuses her art with tons of tiny details that give her quilts rich hues
