People used kudzu, which grew naturally nearby, to make thread for clothing and baskets and other household items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e \"Our lives are supported by two great forces: nature, bestowed by heaven, and history, nurtured by humankind.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In \"Handcrafts of Japan,\" Soetsu Yanagi talks about the elements of \"nature\" and \"history\" that create things. Crafts lie at the intersection of the beautiful and astonishing power of nature and history, which is the accumulation of human discoveries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe reason natural\/ancient fabrics are attracting attention may be that they make us think about a lifestyle that has disappeared, or perhaps they are a way of remembering something important that is in danger of disappearing.However, from the perspective of society at large, these are endeavors undertaken by an extremely limited number of people who are sensitive to dyeing and weaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Kudzu cloth is made from the inner bark of kudzu vines, and the process involves exposing the long fibers to the clear flow of a river, creating a beautiful sight. The certificate states that \"transparency and luster are the lifeblood of kudzu cloth,\" and kudzu cloth is made through a series of methods that involve harvesting thread from nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0489\/8652\/1761\/files\/DSC03360.jpg?v=1747474185\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis obi is not a single color, but rather a large mixture of four colored threads, both vertically and horizontally, that gives it its unique character. In particular, the threads dyed a pale fuchsia color give it a more transparent look. Kudzu cloth often uses different materials, such as silk, for the warp threads, but this obi is unique in that both the warp and weft are made of kudzu thread. I think this is a highly sophisticated handwoven item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This obi can be enjoyed in a wide variety of combinations. The image shows it paired with Ojiya Chijimi and Ryukyu Kasuri, but you can enjoy its harmony with a variety of dyed and woven fabrics, such as tie-dyed obi, long board yukata, and of course, summer Oshima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e[Product details]\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;Quality\u0026gt; 100% kudzu (both sap and water)\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;Production\u0026gt; Odakin \u0026lt;Dimensions\u0026gt; Approx. 370cm, adjustable \u0026lt;Season\u0026gt; Single layer, summer (three seasons excluding winter)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e[About tailoring]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It will be hand-sewn by a Japanese dressmaker. \u003cbr\u003eUnless otherwise specified \u003cspan\u003e, the tailoring of the Hassun Nagoya Obi\u003c\/span\u003e will be done in \u003cspan\u003ethe \"pine needle style\u003c\/span\u003e .\" If you would like the \"open style,\" \u003cspan\u003eplease let us know in the \"Add a note to your order\" section of the shopping cart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Please feel free to contact us with any tailoring inquiries.\u003cbr\u003e You can also add a note to your order by leaving a comment in the \"Add a note to your order\" field in your shopping cart, or by email, phone, or via our official LINE account.
