Yoko Nagakubo's quilt, To Live, is a beautiful expression of life as she gives tribute to those who lost everything and those who survived a powerful earthquake which destroyed her town. An enormous tree and background of stunning pieced blocks is enhanced with appliquéd leaves and branches. It truly is a tree of life. Don't miss the stars created by the amazing piecing in the first detail picture.

The exhibit is described as:

"Organized by the Japan Handicraft Instructors' Association, the Quilt Nihon Exhibition is one of the most prestigious international quilt contests in Japan. The exhibit features 42 quilts from the "Innovative Traditional" category, which will later be exhibited at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art."
