profile Yoko Yoshikawa has been a full time housewife and mother of two children and now works part time at a credit company. Although her knitting activities have been within the area of handicrafts, she has been trying to evolve a more individual approach in her knitting. She has a strong sense of dynamic balance, something that came to the fore when we mounted the 'Fushiginoiroito' exhibitions.
