Okan Arts is a Seattle, Washington-based retailer of art supplies focused on vintage Japanese textiles. It imports vintage yukata cottons and maintains what is described as the largest collection of hand-dyed yukata fabrics outside Japan. The fabrics are available through the Okan Arts Shop in Seattle and online at okanarts.com/shop. The company was founded by designer and artisan quilter Patricia Belyea. In addition to selling fabrics, the company offers learning experiences for quilters, with Belyea traveling to groups worldwide to teach workshops. Her book East-Meets-West Quilts was slated for release in October 2017.
