Lena Okamoto is a Tokyo-based contemporary textile artist and the founder of ikasu, an art brand dedicated to transforming antique and vintage Japanese kimono into one-of-a-kind contemporary artworks.
Originally from Russia, she studied Japanese culture before relocating to Japan, where she has lived for more than twenty years and earned a master's degree from the University of Tokyo.
She later worked as a creative professional at one of Japan's leading advertising agencies, graduated with top honors from Ogilvy & Mather Creative School, and became a certified Kimono Meister, deepening her expertise in the history, craftsmanship, and cultural significance of kimono.
Guided by the belief that cultural heritage should not simply be preserved but continue to live into the future, she reconstructs antique and vintage kimono into artworks that resonate with contemporary spaces.
Using carefully selected historic textiles sourced from across Japan, her work carries forward the beauty, craftsmanship, and memories embedded within each fabric.
Her artworks have been exhibited internationally and are recognized for their distinctive fusion of Japanese cultural heritage, contemporary art, and sustainability.
