Statement: I remember my teacher, Trude Guermon-prez saying, “try to make something with the simplest of means.” I find trying to create something with limited means very challenging. I wove my first series of boxes in 1974 – the Nesting Boxes. They were complex, involving 10 harnesses and doubleweave pick-up. They were designed to come off the loom, ironed and folded to make a square three-dimensional box with a lid with very little sewing. The Takarabako series came in the early nineties. The Takarabakos are woven on eight harnesses in a tubular weave. They are ironed and folded into the box form. The twill weave at the top almost goes into the soft fold most naturally.                                                                                                                   Kay Sekimachi
