Sleek summer-spook outfit, pairing a kasuri (an ikat technique) kimono, with a cute obi with tiny dokuro (skull).

With the coming of Obon celebrations, summer months are seen as the spooky seasons in Japan, hence why motifs like nozarashi (weather-beaten bones) are not unusual on summer fashion items.

I like the matching marukuge (obijime made from fabric tubes filled with cotton). In the past, those were mostly used for formal attires yet recently, you see them more and more paired with informal kimono.

On the wall, farm garments exemplify a rare combination of sashiko quilting and kasuri dyeing, and probably date from the Meiji era. The sea chests flanking the bed are typical of those from Sakata in northern Yamagata Prefecture.

First Ikat weaving! It's kasuri.

I don't have a photo of the whole thing ironed sorry lol, I hemmed them and turned them into square cloths. I measured and dyed thread so it would make a pattern when I wove it. The dyeing took so long but undoing all the knots I made dyeing it took the same amount of time it took to weave it I'm p sure. My prof lent me Japanese Ikat Weaving by Jun and Noriko Tomita and it was super helpful. I loved looking at pictures of vintage and modern kasuri they were so beautiful.

福岡市天神地区の再開発事業　通称「天神ビッグバン」

大名小学校跡地にできた「福岡大名ガーデンシティ」

１階のエントランスを通って１８階～２４階が「ザ・リッツ・カールトン福岡」となります。世界中の富裕層・要人をおもてなしする最上級の館内のテーマは、「織り」となっており、「福岡の街とリッツカールトンをタテ糸とヨコ糸でつなぐ」となっているそうです。「九州礼賛」という表現でご説明を受けました。

そのおもてなし空間の中には、福岡県の伝統工芸アートが随所に展示されており、館内全体が「伝統工芸アート美術館」のようでもありました。

今回、１９階～２３階の客室フロアのエレベーターホール（５フロア計１０か所）に設置する久留米絣のインスタレーションを制作させていただきました。

３年前に試作品を製作するところから始まりました。久留米絣の特徴である「括り」を活かした色のグラデーション、「荒巻」技法を活かした経糸（たていと）による光と影の絣アート。織機で布に織りあげるのではない「絣アート」という新たな表現の可能性に挑戦いたしました。アート作品としての着想は、弊社ではなくご依頼主さまからのご提案によるものですが、絣の技術の応用でどこまでのことができるのかという難題に向き合うことが出来ました。

１０ヵ所に設置したインスタレーションは、グラデーションのパターンが少しずつ違います。

一つずつパターンを変えていくというのも実は大変難易度の高い要素でした。

“Kasuri also gives us a rare insight into the minds of the Pakistan Army, the contribution of the Foreign Office and his warm but complex relationship with President Musharraf. Blending analysis with choice anecdote, Neither a Hawk nor a Dove gives us a comprehensive and revealing account of Pakistan’s politics and the political compulsions of those at the helm.” 🌱

How can India and Pakistan 'win without fighting'?

An India-Pakistan discussion with Khurshid Kasuri, Mani Shankar Aiyar and others, and a TCF Pakistan Boston fundraiser later where the keynote speaker was Indian - and full of praise for the Pakistani education NGO... Can our leaders please learn?

The keynote speaker at TCF Boston fundraiser this year was Indian – and it wasn’t ‘bad news’. On the contrary. Check out Shashi Buluswar‘s cricket documentary that I’ve included in the article. Plus a discussion with ‘peacemongers’ hosted by a center in Kolkata the same day. Why can’t our political leaders take a leaf from Mani Shankar Aiyar’s relationship with his old friend Javed Jabbar, a…

Lovely unformal outfit, pairing a comforting kasuri pattern kimono, with a falsely plain tsumugi obi depicting sasa (bamboo leaves). This obi must look so great when its embroidery details catch the light!

ぼかし染めの表現

「括り」による柄の表現とは別に「染め」による柄の表現も探求します。2度染+手染めという要素でオリジナル性を追求しています。

久留米絣の特徴でもある「荒巻」技法でたて糸を巻き上げることにより、グラデーションの染め模様がそのまま生地の表情に反映されます。
