• This is an authentic experience plan where you will use beautiful silk threads to weave a 15cm x 15cm piece of cloth using the Tsuzure weaving technique (the finished size will vary from person to person, and you may be able to weave a larger piece). Compared to other types of weaving, Tsuzure weaving requires the warp threads to be pulled tighter, so they are plucked with a pickaxe and shuttle. When this happens, a pleasant sound like that of a koto being played can be heard at the boundary between the warp threads and the fabric. Enjoy the elegant techniques of this traditional craft, the luster of pure silk, and the sound of the woven threads.
• Soushi Tsuzurien, a workshop established by a traditional craftsman who received the Order of the Sacred Treasure, Gold Rays with Rosette
• You will watch a video about Nishijin Tsumekaki Tsuzureori and be given an explanation of the production process while looking at the looms and tools in the workshop. You will then begin the weaving process, starting with thread selection. The workshop has approximately 16 looms, including a large one that can accommodate 4-8 people weaving at a time. Traditional craftsmen and artisans will kindly support you in creating a beautiful Nishijin-ori piece. Please feel free to consult us about color schemes and designs.
