Born in Niigata Prefecture, Sawada Maiko began working in a Kyo-Bingata studio in Kyoto after graduating university. For 20 years she honed her skills as a katazome dyer before going independent in 2017. She now works from her studio in Kyoto.
Sawada was selected to exhibit her work "Summer Haze" in the 51st Japanese Traditional Craft Exhibition. She has also had her first solo exhibition as an independent artists at Ginza Motoji Waori Wasen in 2017.
Sawada says that she imagines herself being "connected by the red thread of fate" to each wearer of her work as she creates.
