<Tate Kasuri’s Warikomi>
In the case of Tate Kasuri, the warp consists of Kasuri and ground. The plain thread with no pattern (dark blue in this case) is called the ground thread, and dropping the Kasuri thread into the ground thread is called Warikomi.
This pattern uses three types of Kukuri patterns. The three types of Kasuri threads may all have the same number or may have different numbers. By calculating the ratio of the ground thread and the Kasuri thread and dropping it evenly over the entire area, it is possible to arrange them in a well-balanced manner within the fabric width (basic form).
This pattern is an extra Kasuri thread that was originally produced in the process of making another pattern. It cannot be applied to the existing Kasuri pattern, so we design a new pattern around this Kasuri thread and weave this fabric to use the excess thread efficiently. Basically, it is often a random geometric pattern like the pattern in the photograph, and it is not possible to make any particular pattern, so I made it with the technique of “Warikomi” considering the combination of the ground thread and the Kasuri thread. I will. I am thinking about designing from a manager’s point of view and a craftsman’s point of view as a maker, whether it is a limited production plan for stock only or a design that can handle repeat production.
