仙台藤崎での作品展が無事に終了いたしました。

会期中は多くのお客様にお立ち寄りいただき、作品をご覧いただきました。

毎年お越しくださる方、初めて作品に触れてくださった方、遠方から足を運んでくださった方。

お一人おひとりとの出会いに支えられながら、今年も仙台での時間を終えることができました。

作品を迎えてくださった皆さま、ご来場くださった皆さまに心より御礼申し上げます。

工房では、今年育てていた天蚕と家蚕が繭をつくり終え、最初の収繭を迎えています。

葉を食べ、眠り、脱皮を繰り返しながら育った蚕たちは、自らの糸で繭をつくります。

その繭はこれから糸となり、そして布へと姿を変えていきます。

作品展でご覧いただいた布も、こうした長い時間の積み重ねの中から生まれています。

繭から布へ。

今年もまた、その物語の始まりの季節がやってきました。

これから少しずつ、工房での様子もお伝えしていけたらと思います。

After Our Exhibition at Fujisaki Department Store, Sendai

Our exhibition at Fujisaki Department Store in Sendai has come to a close.

Throughout the exhibition, we were grateful to welcome many visitors who took the time to stop by and view our textiles.

Some visit us every year, some encountered our work for the first time, and others travelled from afar.

Supported by each of these encounters, we were able to bring this year’s time in Sendai to a close.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited the exhibition, and to those who chose to welcome our textiles into their lives.

Back at the workshop, the silkworms we raised this year — both tensan wild silkworms and domesticated silkworms — have finished spinning their cocoons, and the first cocoon harvest of the year has begun.

After feeding on leaves, resting, and molting several times, the silkworms spin cocoons from their own thread.

These cocoons will gradually become thread, and eventually cloth.

The textiles you saw at the exhibition are also born from this long accumulation of time.

From cocoon to cloth.

Once again, the season when this story begins has arrived.

We look forward to sharing more scenes from the workshop little by little.
