Vol.11 Important Intangible Cultural Property “Basho cloth with kasuri rhombus pattern”

Vol.11 重要無形文化財<br>『芭蕉布 絣菱文』
The moment I got it,

The coolness of this fabric

In lustrous beauty

I am fascinated.

Okinawa's Basho fields

I can't help but feel the breeze.

Bashofu is made from the fibers of the thread banana plant.

The nails called "Imo-tsumi"

Use your fingertips to tear it

Tying fibers of the same thickness

I'm going to make it into thread.

Time spent manually stringing the threads

Time-consuming work

This will be done in a relaxed space.

Being dominated by AI

It's a world that's the complete opposite of today's busy world.

There, people surrounded by nature

There is activity and there is heart.




The famous Yanagi Soetsu is also a part of everyday life in Okinawa

Enchanted by this fabric

He talks about visiting Basho's fields.

Ryukyu indigo and wheel plum

With dyed thread

The fabric woven into Ryukyu Kasuri

Even if the color changes over time

Beauty is never ending

It stays in people's minds.
