A day of Master

<The idea of Kataha>

Not only kasuri and textiles, there is a unique expression called “craftsman’s word” in the process of manufacturing. There are various technical terms in the world of textiles, but just as there are Japanese words such as “standard language” and “dialect”, what was a common language was changed to a unique expression in each production area, and originally it was a word unique to the production area. Exist as.

Even Kurume Kasuri craftsmen have various “craftsmanship”. There is, of course, one or two when counting threads, but two warps are one set and two wefts are one reciprocation (two), so two = Hitoha. Use expressions.

In the plain fabric shown in the photo, red and black warp threads are arranged alternately one by one. As the weft thread reciprocates while red and black move up and down, the warp threads and the weft threads intersect to form a fabric.

It is called Kataha warikomi in craftsmanship that they are arranged alternately one by one.
