  • Thread of Life Japanese Textiles

    Thread of Life Japanese Textiles

    Thread of Life Japanese Textiles Saturday 26 June - Sunday 3 October 2021 Thread of Life Japanese Textiles The Japanese word boroboro (abbreviated to boro) can be translated to rags, but there is a deeper meaning and history hidden within the threads and stitches of these patched textiles. Characterised by meticulous stitching, hues of indigo, and many-layered patchwork, boro originated as a thrifty utilitarian technique since before the 19th century but is now considered a highly prized form of unintentional abstract textile art. Collector Leanne O’Sullivan first encountered the intriguing indigo patchwork while living in Japan in the 1980s. O’Sullivan’s collection has been gathered on return trips to Japan over the past 25 years, from the snow country of Nagano in the north, around the mountains of Fuji to the seas of Japan, with some pieces dating back to the Meiji era (1868-1912). “Whilst living in Japan I was constantly inspired by the extreme contrasts around me – everywhere I looked there seemed to be a mix of the traditional and contemporary co-existing beautifully.” Leanne O’Sullivan lives and works in Melbourne, Australia, where she designs fashion accessories and craft kits, and teaches workshops in traditional Japanese crafts and culture.

Changes in the Way of Traditional Cloth Makings and the Weavers’ Contribution in the Ryukyu Islands Toshiyuki Sano and Yuka Matsumoto This article is based on a fieldwork project we conducted in 2013 and 2014. The objective of the project was to grasp the current state of how people are engaged in the traditional ways of weaving, dyeing and making cloth in the Ryukyu Islands.1 Throughout the project, we came to think it important to understand two points in order to see the direction of those who are engaged in manufacturing textiles in the Ryukyu Islands. The points are: the diversification in ways of engaging in traditional cloth making; and the importance of multi-generational relationship in sustaining traditional cloth making.

These are the elements of rozome. Many cultures consider fabric dyeing an art form. Historically it has been seen as clothing to designate rank or status, ritual cloth created to celebrate or commemorate life passages, soft hangings to narrate old stories of religion and myth or to depict honored royalty and even deities. In Japan wax-resist is not called batik but roketsu-zome or the shortened form, ro-zome (wax-dyeing). Although modern European and American batik have been inspired by the wax-resist fabrics of Indonesia, Japan has its own historical source flowing from the Asian continent; a flow that inspired the textile treasures stored in the Shosoin Repository of Nara for more than 1200 years. Japanese rozome is a sister of the batik of Indonesia, but the Japanese process has many distinctive techniques; a unique product of Japanese inventiveness. In current time it has grown out of the area of ethnology and decorative arts and into the field of fine arts where it has dazzled thousands with its dynamic possibilities. Japanese Resist-Dyeing: History and Practice Japan has an ancient tradition of fine resist-dyed textiles extending over 1200 years. During the Nara Period (645-794 CE), three resist techniques flourished: rokechi (wax resist), kokechi (bound resist) and kyokechi (clamp resist).

Amy’s life path of meditation and at Amy Nguyen’s home and studio. intentional action is borne out in her life’s work, which is the design and Oconstruction of handmade clothing. Amy Nguyen’s textile work is marked by high contrast, a chiaroscuro of light and dark, clear and obscure. Her artwear is the product of a construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction process. She designs and dyes the silk, using one or more methods. Most of it is dyed using the shibori method. At times she employs rozome or katazome, depending on the nuance, texture, and effect she hopes to achieve. She then bravely cuts the dyed yardage into pieces, only to sew them back together as an extraordinary garment. “Construction is a major part of my work. From HIGH CONTRAST: the Wearable Art of Amy Nguyen BY MARCIA YOUNG dyeing, designing, and pattern making to cutting and constructing, it is all quite work intensive, much like weaving.” Amy’s years of learning and honing her craft began with a degree in studio art from the College of Charleston, South Carolina. She’s held positions in the costume shop at the College of Charleston and New York University’s Department of Design for Stage and Film.
