Hi, welcome to Hannari life by Kyoto - lover housewife.
Last time, when I talked about kimono and looked at the photos of textiles and kimono patterns, I remembered a time when I traveled as my own and walked around the town in Kyoto.
It is a story that I was attracted to a certain glass-walled atelier and unexpectedly visited there.
The atelier was for repair of embroidery and a gorgeous embroidery appeared in front of me, and then I was attracted to the embroidery and stepped into there.
I remembered the time when I had seen the embroidery sewn by a craftsman one by one, just stared at the work, and talked to the craftsman who came out from the back. And The other day I visited there for the first time in 10 years because I really wanted to the embroidery again.
The atelier was at the same place as 10 years ago and I stepped into there with the same feelings as that time when I was attracted to the work through the glass.
The beauty of silk thread brightness and the attractive hand-sewn work. The craftsman was working on the Uchikake, a long garment worn over kimono, which was made 100 years ago.
The state of the embroidery made 100 years ago was recovered like inheriting the culture and craftsmanship of Japanese embroidery, and I never got tired of seeing it.
I realized the importance of treating things 100 years ago carefully, inheriting traditions and cultures, repairing the Uchikake that had not paled in comparison even over time.
Nowadays, I feel like that people do not consider mass disposal of clothes and feelings about clothes more than people in the past.
The unit purchase price of our clothes is decreasing year by year, but at the same time, the terms of wearing clothes are getting shorter.
