This is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an essence.
Today, we visited the Ningyocho Classroom of Kogin Sashi Thursday Association Co., Ltd., and talked to Mr. Hiroko Takagi, the director of Kogin Sashishi writer and lecturer.
First, the explanation of Koginzashi.
↑ Dr. Takagi. In the back, there is a piece of work.
Traditional techniques, folk art embroidery, and traditional crafts were born in the Tsugaru region of Aomori Prefecture, with unique geometric patterns made with white cotton threads on indigo (navy blue) fabric. The difference from other sashiko is to stabb odd eyes on the vertical weave.
In 1724 (Kyoho 9), the "Farmhouse Frugality Ordinance" strictly regulates farmers' work clothes. The prohibition of cotton kimono, even in the cold region of the northern country, hemp kimono was allowed. You can't lining it.
So the girl in Tsugaru thought.
Fine embroidery is applied to the shoulders, back, and arms of the hemp kimono. The idea of reversal is to thicken the fabric, enhance the heat retention effect, make it durable, and evolve it even more aesthetically.
This is the root of kogin sashimi.
In the Tsugaru region, the stray clothes were called Kogin (both small cloth and small width), so this name was given.
In addition to preserving the tradition, modern creative kogin sashimi arranged with new designs and colorful dyed yarns are also popular. I'm good at this classroom.
This is an interview with Dr. Takagi.
① About meeting with kogin sashimi
"There was a small sting in a hotel where I happened to go to Lake Towada with my friend and stayed there. Seeing it, she asked her, "What is this?" When I heard that it was stabbing, "Well, where are you doing this?" When I heard that, I was told that no one was doing it right now in Aomori. I was told that if I was collecting it, I was in Aomori City, and I was introduced to that person, but that person was an ethnologist Chusaburo Tanaka. I've already died. When I jumped into that person and talked about the stabbing, he said, "Oh, Tokyo's Hitogane, do you try it?" And I got a small piece, and that's the beginning."
② The story when I became a lecturer at NHK Cultural Center
"I have an acquaintance at NHK, and I asked him," Why don't you try it? " I was told. And I was bored with Saturday Sunday on a two-day weekly holiday, and I was free to say that I should do that."
③ About Yumikai (Yumikai International Art Exhibition)
"I met the chairman. So I'm going to participate when I quit my job at a general company at retirement age, and now I'm the vice president. "
④ About Ningyocho Classroom
"It's been four years ago. Until then, I had a classroom at my home in Ningyocho. I got acquainted with the building owner, "Tofu no Futaba-san." There are also 10 other classrooms in the Kanto region, Kobe, Nagoya and Shizuoka. "
⑤ About your own work
↑ 53rd Nihonbashi, Tokaido
"I'm now doing it when I get an order. With such a hanten, it takes one year to calculate everything from the design to the thread dyeing until then. Each classroom also goes around, so I don't have much time to stabb yourself. There's also a lot of work. Actually, I'd like to have the Tokaido fifty-three order main. I'm doing it from a place where it's easy to do as a design. ・・ ・From orthodox ones to pictorial ones like the fifty-three, the works are wide."
・・・ I will carry it over to the next time.
