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

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.

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.
