Carrying on the tradition

There are over 100 knots in decorative knotting and artwork made by combining the knots seems infinite. I find wonder in the endless possibility of decorative knots. A unique characteristic of Japanese decorative knotting is that it uses a single, continuous rope from beginning to end, without cutting or joining. This comes from the culture of valuing something that is long and continuous, and avoiding discontinuity or interruption, for example with relationships and personal contact. Some artwork uses 10~20 m of rope and it requires much concentration and perseverence to continuously tie it. It is tough work, but I value such Japanese tradition and strive to make my artwork from single, uncut rope.
In my work, I honor tradition while striving to create artwork that will add color to modern life. Decorate your room or wear the knots to ward off evil or as a symbol of happiness.

ARTISAN STORY

I began decorative knotting in 2012. Attracted by the intricate methods of knotting and the beauty of Japanese braided cord braided ropes, I decided to become an artist because, despite being a traditional art, decorative knots are not well known and there are few artisans. In 2015, I held my first exhibition at Banshu Kiyomizu Temple, because knots are deeply associated with Bhuddism. In addition to traditional designs, I make earings, necklaces and other accessories, as well as interior decorations for restaurants and historic hotels (ryokan).

KUMIHIMO / JAPANESE BRAIDED CORD

About 1,300 years ago / 700s / Nara Period (710–794)

Kumihimo is made by moving multiple bundles of thread diagonally around one another to create a single cord. By the Nara period, braided cords were used for sutras, ceremonial robes and court dress; warrior society expanded their use into armor and swords, and later regional centers produced obijime for kimono.

In Japan, kumihimo is most familiar as the cord that helps secure a kimono obi, where color and knot can express season and formality. Contemporary applications include jewelry, straps, bag handles and even shoelaces, with growing appreciation for the beauty of the structure itself.

Unlike ordinary woven cloth, where warp and weft cross at right angles, kumihimo threads are continually moving diagonally. This distributes tension along the cord and gives great strength at small diameter. Decoration and engineering come from exactly the same structure.

الاختلافات الفردية

نظرًا لأن كل قطعة تُصنع يدويًا بشكل مستقل، فقد تطرأ اختلافات طفيفة في اللون والنمط والشكل والملمس. وتُعد هذه الاختلافات الدقيقة من الخصائص الطبيعية للأعمال اليدوية، ما يجعل كل قطعة فريدة من نوعها حقًا. نأمل أن تستمتعوا بهذه الاختلافات الفردية كجزء من جمال الحرفية اليابانية وطابعها المميز.

مدة الإنتاج

إذا لم يكن المنتج متوفرًا في المخزون حاليًا، فقد يقوم الحرفي بتصنيعه حسب الطلب. ونظرًا إلى أن كل قطعة تُصنع يدويًا بعناية، فقد يستغرق الإنتاج عدة أشهر، حسب المنتج وجدول الحرفي. نقدر صبركم وتفهمكم.
