While you were working, I was thinking about the minds of the people who handed down this tradition to you. What were their minds like? Who made subtle changes along the way to today’s method? Did they wonder about the ways to sit down around the work, or turn their body while holding the rod along with more basic design ideas to this handmade loom to achieve more stability without giving up the authenticity of fiber and man made quality? Do the fibers fray and fly in the beginning of processing and that’s why you wear the fine mask early on? In any case, I admire the sheerness of your finished work. Thank you for sharing your heritage with all of us.
Thank you for your kind words. Our predecessors, who cherished and passed down this tradition, also refined their skills through various improvements. They, too, have continued to hone their techniques while inheriting this spirit, striving to create beautiful works. I am delighted that we can share this heritage in this way, and I am honored by your appreciation.
😊Hello, I am a textile engineer( i like my profession very much) and we do industrial production in factories. I was very happy to see that you prepared the video in the traditional way. Completely manual labor, completely environmentally friendly and with natural methods is as great as it used to be. I congratulate you and wish you to continue your profession🙏🏻
Thank you for watching and for your wonderful comment! I am very happy to receive a comment from a textile engineer overseas. I wish you happiness from Japan.
My goodness, the process its like a ritual, from the begining to the end...a pleasure to see, and a blessing for this lady her patience, dedication and love for this ancient art...now i know why there articles are so expensive, their unique....god bless the japanese people.....
Have no idea how old this woman is, but she had to start learning this when she was two days old! And, she is highly intelligent to master the thread count etc. Bless her hands, and to the person/s who taught her this skill. Just outstanding and beautiful!

That was the most incredible thing I've ever seen 🥰 I had no idea there was so much time and effort into making one piece of fabric. Thank you for continuing this fantastic tradition 🥰
Пусть ваши руки будут всегда здоровые и сильные!!❤❤...вы большая молодец!!!...как вы хорошо ткёте полотно...и как вы хорошо собираете нитки для пряжи!!...если бы могла приехать к вам, я бы обязательно обратилась к вам за помощью научить меня этому искусство....это прекрасно!!!...вы молодец....пусть это искусство никогда не теряется...и никакие искуственные нитки не сравнится с тем, что делают руки человека❤❤❤❤❤
Que paisagem maravilhosa . Obrigada por manter essa tradição viva. O seu trabalho é lindo e tem uma energia maravilhosa que saiu do seu coração através das suas mãos. Um abraço de Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤❤❤
A wonderful result of a lot of hard work! If I were a tailor I would have a very hard time cutting this fabric. Knowing how much time and effort went into making it - I will be afraid of making a mistake.💕
Oh how I’d love to spend time there learning as much as they would be willing to teach me. So many crafts can be self taught, but serious weaving looks like it take a lot of learned skill, then you can develop your own skill. So interesting.
Goodness, that is complex, and I kept saying "oh no, she has to thread it all again, doesn't she". I do like the idea of the fastener though - I may have to find a way to make one for my loom. The fabric is beautiful - love those colors together.
@@Emisanboo The "fastener" is called a Temple and they are available in the US. Swedish temples - wood and metal - are available from weaving stores or any dealer that sells Swedish looms such as Glimokra. There is a subtle difference in that the Japanese version is bowed outward whereas the Western kinds are flat.
Short movies and beautiful work like this makes me so appreciative of my kimono and obi collection and the many wondrous handmade items in it. The fabric that she made, is so beautiful and elegantly designed. Thank you for making this short film about such a skilled and wonderful textile artist.
Bit of translation error 13:25 Operate the pedals to move not reed, should be shafts. (‘ Dressing the loom’ Yarn was threaded through the eyelets of ‘heddles’ attached to the shafts which are raised & lowered by the peddles.) Sweet how the reed detaches from the beater on this loom. Western loom, reed stays in the beater at a painfully awkward height to work on. & 15:00 cloth is rolled up onto the ‘cloth beam’. Beautiful weaving.👍
I live in metropolis and the first 5 minutes - oh, so slowly:)) but after - this woman is happy with her slow live in a country side, doing amazing handwork in traditional style. She use history, makes history and left history for the next generation. What i live after me ?:))
Thank you for your comment! Her traditional craftsmanship and peaceful lifestyle are truly inspiring. We hope it encourages you to think about what legacy you’d like to leave for the next generation❤️🔥
Cool to see how the loom is basically same around the world. My mother works in an arts & crafts shop with several of them, even weaved me a rug as a gift years ago.
je suis tres content de savoir que les Japonais conservent son savoir faire et les transmetre a ses anfants!!!vous devez de etre fiere de votre culture artistique!!merci pour le partager avec des videos!!!
Wunderschön!!! IEs bereitete mir große Freude Ihnen zuzusehen❤ Das setzen und aufstehen am Webstuhl erinnert mich an Formel 1 Piloten. Müsste ich die Fäden sortieren würde es eher eine Makrameearbeit ergeben😅
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! We also hope that the younger generation will be inspired by these incredible artisans and carry on their legacy😊
😊 I do a vastly more simple form of heddle weaving. Warping up the machine is the longest hardest and most pains taking part of that weaving. I almost never get it right the first time. Doing all that prep work first is amazing. The little marker you used to show where you were in the pattern is a good idea. I must use that.
A 1000 % avec les artisans. Leur retour au savoir des techniques d'antan c'est le meilleur moyen pour sortir de la médiocrité ou les sociétés ont tombé. Félicitations. ❤❤❤
Correct and good information about textile. " Cotton " Was and is life for south and southeast countries. That's why western countries attracted in these regions 😆. Thank you🙏.
Very beautiful. I wonder how she finished the ends and if it was secured by sewing or if the washing process fused the ends. As a weaver it is so amazing to see how other cultures create their cloth.
Thank you for sharing a peek into this amazing weaving process. The fact that just setting up the warp takes five whole hours in phenomenal. The patience and dedication needed to accomplish all this is amazing. This was a joy to watch. 🧶🙏🏽💗
This reminds me of my beloved mother who used to do this craft in our village in Yugoslavia when we we little children we would help our mother to do this, Now this craft is dying throughout Europe,
Me gusta que gente joven tome el relevo de esta artesanía tan antigua, es muy laborioso, preparar la trama hilo por hilo, mucha paciencia, muy interesante el vídeo.🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇪🇦
Beautiful video - as a weaver I appreciate every step so well documented. The weaving temple you are using looks very adaptable and user friendly. Is it available in the United States? Many thanks!
Thank you for watching and leaving such a wonderful comment! I'm not sure if it is available in the United States. Even in Japan, it is becoming quite rare.
I wonder if humans way in the past got inspired to do it this way by watching spiders weaving their nets Its absolutely stunning to watch this get created and makes me appreciate all my needle-yarn-handcrafts even more ! We should never relay fully on machinemade and keep on spreading any traditional crafts we may need it one day again!
So many steps the weaver must go through. Are all the fabrics woven to the same dimensions? From start to finish, how long did it take to create that striped fabric we saw you make? Beautiful.
Beautiful traditional style house with modern conveniences. How long does it take to prepare and set up the loom? Can you picture a woman or man in traditional Japanise work dress doing this?
Fascinating to watch, thank you for posting it! I am curious to know what is the cost of such a bolt of fabric and what is expected to be its primary purpose, i.e., clothing, curtains, etc.?
Thank you for watching and for your wonderful comment! The price varies depending on the product, but it’s around 2500 yen per meter. As you mentioned, it is used for clothing, aprons, and other items.
@@kodawari.official Thank you for responding. I just wanted to tell you that in Iran there’s a certain kind of fine cotton fabric that is called the same as Kodawari, at least phonetically. Is there a place that your creations are offered for sale?
I lived in Japan as a child. I had a close relationship with our housekeeper. Mom says, I could understand her when she spoke Japanese. She was so kind to me. I wish these videos on the Japanese culture had audible dialog in English. The videos I've sampled are so well done but they are only entertaining videos, no content. I don't learn anything from them. Please make videos in english with audio.
This is probably very interesting if you already know this procedure. I have no idea, so, for me, sense there is no dialog, I'm not learning anything. There is no dialog explaining it to me. It's just a nice video to watch. Maybe the intention is just for entertainment.
I'm assuming Japanese Indigo was your blue source, but what about the yellow and green colors? The green looked like it was an iron green dye, was it? Woooow, and I got annoyed at merely warping an inkle loom!!!
