Description

The Tango Chirimen fabric used in this piece has an irregular weave. Tango Chirimen is mainly produced in the Tango region of Kyoto Prefecture. The surface of the fabric has fine irregularities, called shibo, which make it wrinkle-resistant and flexible. The diffuse reflection of the unevenness makes the dyed color rich and deep. Tango Chirimen is a typical Japanese silk fabric with the texture of silk. For 300 years, Tango artisans have produced some of the most advanced kimonos in Japan. As a result, Tango has become the largest producer of silk fabrics in Japan, and today about 70% of all kimonos in Japan are made of Tango silk.
The pattern of this work, "Ishidatami" (Stone Pavement), has been considered auspicious in Japan since ancient times because it has the meanings of "eternity," "development and expansion," and "prosperity" due to the way it continues uninterrupted. Although this stone pavement pattern looks very modern, it is actually a pattern that has existed since ancient times, as seen on the clothing of Haniwa clay figurines from the Kofun period and on dyed textiles in the collections of Horyuji Temple and the Shosoin Repository.
