"Patterns of handiwork in everyday life" This year, we received a series of woodblock prints with adorable patterns from India. Block printing is a traditional Indian technique. The first step is to carve a woodblock. While hammering with a chisel, they dig out delicate patterns. Then, each plate is layered on top of the fabric to create a single pattern. It is all left to the sense of the craftsman's hand. The deviation of a few millimeters between the plates and the degree of ink bleeding create a taste unique to handwork. The crystallization of such handiwork will be made into a cute drawstring purse and will appear again this year! There is plenty of capacity, so it's up to you how you use it. It can also be used as a small outing bag. "The only tassel in the world" Another thing I would like to pay attention to is this tassel. In fact, recycled saris is used. A saree that once snuggled up to someone's daily life will reach your daily life in a small, dear form. Each combination and color world is different. It's a small thing, but we hope you will enjoy the one and only encounter. This time, the image is a paradise for birds that inhabit India. Four species of birds, hoopoe, black-tailed ibis, and peacock, are represented in delicate woodblocks. It's fun to find out where the birds are hiding. It seems that both the people who use it and the people around them can look for it and find it and smile. With respect and gratitude to the creator who faithfully reproduced this detailed and fun world in woodblocks. "Listen to the breath of your handiwork." A few years ago, when a designer was touring a village in India, he had the opportunity to talk with people who make block prints. Now that printing technology is advancing, their work is decreasing year by year. When I order a woodblock with a new pattern, I hope that their handiwork will not be interrupted. In a small workshop in a small village, handicrafts that have been passed down from time immemorial On the other side of the ocean, I am breathing hard at this very moment. An encounter with a single item can make you think about such important handicrafts and the people who live there. I would be happy if it would be an opportunity for as many people as possible to know about it.
