A day of Master(Craftsmanship)

“Aramaki process”

Prepare the Kasuri thread and the ground thread and wind them while matching the patterns.

Naturally, the ratio of Kasuri thread to ground thread depends on the pattern you make.

After matching the patterns, the Kasuri threads are coated with glue and wax and dried in the sun.

Basically, the ground yarn goes through the same process to make the conditions the same.

It is necessary to keep the tension of the Kasuri thread and the ground thread constant in order to arrange the pattern.

At this time, when wrapping the Kasuri thread and the ground thread around the big drum at the top of the photo, the tension is slightly changed and the tension is kept uniform as a result.

Depending on the ratio of Kasuri thread and ground thread, the amount will change slightly.

It is a technique that has been handed down from craftsman to craftsman.
