It is rosemary sea, which decides on a substance of "gifts and enjoys myself".
From Tuesday, January 8 to January 31 (Thursday), "Hand-painted Yuzen dyeing Sachi Manabe Exhibition" is being held at Gallery izutuki, which is attached to the long-established knife shop Nihonbashi Kiya Main Store.
(Mr. Manabe, earrings are also from my own work series.)
Sachi Manabe is a hand-painted Yuzen dyeing writer. Born in Aichi Prefecture.
After graduating from the Faculty of Letters at Ritsumeikan University in 2007, he studied under Yuzen dyeing writer Kihachiro Yoshida, a regular member of the Japan Kogei Association, and studied hand-drawn Yuzen dyeing.
With the aim of integrating fashion and visual art, he has created works that combine the functions of "watching, wearing, and decorating".
This time, it was awarded the 2011 Japan Craft Newcomer Encouragement Award for the men's fashionable wear "Kemonode" displayed in the center of the exhibition.
On the day of the exhibition, I was able to meet Mr. Sachi Manabe at the venue.
I introduced the state of the exhibition on the 12th, and at that time, I also interviewed.
This is an interview article. I will show you a lot of valuable words right away.
"All the furoshiki and tiles were made based on the kimonos displayed in the center."
Have you ever been troubled by your style before?
"After I quit my teacher, there was a time when I was wondering whether to continue, but I would like to continue Yuzen dyeing.
The main axis is kimonos such as kimonos and obis, but we have to take on various challenges from there. The world of crafts is also becoming a shayo industry, so for example, trying to do a "tertiary collaboration".
I'm doing traditional crafts in Kyoto, and since I'm from Tajimi tiles, I'm from Aichi Prefecture, I want to collaborate with local technology.
So, in such tiles and embroidery races, there are not many places that have machines that can be embroidered in Isesaki and Kiryu in Gunma Prefecture, and businesses that accept that I want to do it in small lots Search. I visited Gunma last November. (I live in Kyoto) It was far from thought. It took an hour and a half to get on the Shinkansen from Tokyo. That's the end of the day."
- Have you changed your style from the teacher Takumi (Kihachiro Yoshida)?
"Yes. After all, after quitting, this work (Kemonode kimono) is a turning point, but on the contrary, I shake it and think about whether I want to make it more and more. Otherwise, it would be the second decoction of the teacher for a long time, and it would feel degraded. I have to find my style, so I still get along (with my teacher) and have something I don't understand (tell me) or "I'm going to do my best?" (Laughs). "
When I was a college student, I first decided to work in a friend's workshop and went to a workshop in Yuzen dyeing.
"There was a workshop on hand-painted yuzen that was being conducted by the government. It was about 20,000 yen for a course of about three months, but I really wanted to take it.
When I wanted to receive it was that the door wasn't open at all, and that I had to be a member of the association.
Various craftsmen can come, such as kimono-related people other than Yuzen dyeing, but I was told that if I wanted to go as an ordinary university student, I wouldn't do it.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was any hand, so I decided to work part-time at a friend (no workshop), and there I took a training course for three months.
(of course) When I came to the end, I was told that something was wrong, and I said, "Actual." Even now, the group is continuing. I also have an exhibition.
But now anyone can take that course."
ーーYou're a pioneer.
"No, it's totally wild. I wish I could live a little more strategically. That's right.
Last year, I did it at a midtown shop (Kiya-san's) and said that tiles were unusual, but they sold a little bit.
If so, at the main store (Kiya-san Nihonbashi), there are cooking utensils, and I think it's good."
Does the feeling of the color of the tile change before and after baking?
"Actually, kimonos are completely different. It's quite different.
In the fixation of color, there is a process called "steaming", where the color changes. There's something to change.
As for this tile, I made a glaze seal to make it as close as possible and reproduce it with it.
For pottery, there is a good color.
The rest is the texture. One version of each color is made using the necessary technique, so I make a glaze seal, but I need one version of red, blue, and gradation. I'm going to make this sticker by repeating the plates. It's like sticking it to the tile fabric and baking it.
So there is a pattern to the side of the tile. Usually, tiles are just a picture above.
Compared to inkjets, it has a soft texture and is not too smooth."
The craftsman puts a sticker and bakes it.
ーThe pattern of the kimono bird of this kemonode is impressive.
"This comes from" Sarasa (Sarasa: pattern dyeing from India origin) ".
Just across the Silk Road, the image of animals with such good luck patterns (Kishomonyo: a pattern depicting animals and plants that are said to have good luck) came into Japan across the sea. Because I'm drawing with it.
This work itself is not for sale."
ーYou were also making wedding costumes.
I've made a batting. There's also furisode.
"Recently, I've been doing Takara Jenne's bromide or something (the costume)."
ーHow long does it take to create small items?
"Even accessories are dyed, dried, fixed, pressed, assembled again, glue, and dried again.
It's about a week. It takes a long time to dry.
I have to dry the color. The color when we get wet is quite different. I wonder if I'll dye it again.
There's also such an adjustment."
"The" color of YUZEN " series is a series that uses silk fabric and is the first accessory to start."
"tint (Tint:" light shade "or" dyeing ") series" wants to "watch" the color more lightly. So the motif part is outsourced, and let's use the lace.
That's why I changed to a series called tint.
It is made with the luster of silk as a gemstone."
・・Thank you very much, Sachi Manabe.
