What I love most about Japanese craft is not only that they make a superb a work of art, but they also give a lesson of How it was done on ancient times!!!! Fantastic!!
Lovely video! That is a lot of...combing? scraping? in order to get the fiber ready for spinning. Let’s hope this woman is honored for her incredible work and skill!
I keep watching and rewatching this video. Its so intriguing to see how the shorter ramie fiber from the plants make the weft and the hemp fibers from the taller plants make the warp. As a spinner and weaver, I find my fingers itching to do this fiber processing as well!
Luxury items. What you see here are extremely elaborated and curated goods derived from the original craft that was a subsistence task, aside... Japan has a strong economy that allows this type of diversification, plus the Japanese society doesn't enforce disruptive competition as in USA as many of these companies are family owned and usually very old, hence they engage in cooperatives meant to keep control of the local economy... although the Japanese are fiercely competitive in other sectors the traditional crafts are not part of that competitive system.
Time is a construct. That's because we put a delay on eveything nowadays that we think that this is time consuming. We should go back to that original stuff. When we own our time and not the opposite. We should take our time on everything we plan to do, that's how great quality is made.
What an amazing art. I was just imagining while watching it how many generations before her must have passed it down into the family before it came to her. Love it.
OMG it is a new experience for me . your video add something new and beautiful to my background I do like the idea and every detail in the video .. ♥♥♥ from heba planet
На Руси издревле одежду из крапивы делали. Я раз попробовала и да ну его! Из льна и то легче по процессу! У всех японцев какое-то невообразимое трудолюбие!
