During the Heian Period, Japan developed its own graceful and diverse knots that were used widely by aristocrats. Knots were also used to ward off evil in shrines and temples, as well as above the sumo wrestling ring, which is considered sacred. From old times, people believed that gods live in knots.\u003cbr\u003eIn Japanese decorative knotting, kumihimo (braided rope), a traditional craft of Japan, is used. It is made of several threads braided together and is strong. Due to its braided structure that scatters light at various angles, it has a characteristic shiny look.\u003cbr\u003eIn modern life, we seldom have a chance to see decorative knots. However, in places such as shrines, temples, tea ceremony, incense ceremony, where Japanese tradition has been passed on over generations, it is still used to ward off evil, or as ornaments and tools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eKeiko Ishii\u003cbr\u003eI began decorative knotting in 2012. Attracted by the intricate methods of knotting and the beauty of kumihimo 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eCarrying on the tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThere 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.\u003cbr\u003eIn my work, I honor tradition while striving to create artwork that will add color to modern life.

During the Heian Period, Japan developed its own graceful and diverse knots that were used widely by aristocrats. Knots were also used to ward off evil in shrines and temples, as well as above the sumo wrestling ring, which is considered sacred. From old times, people believed that gods live in knots.\u003cbr\u003eIn Japanese decorative knotting, kumihimo (braided rope), a traditional craft of Japan, is used. It is made of several threads braided together and is strong. Due to its braided structure that scatters light at various angles, it has a characteristic shiny look.\u003cbr\u003eIn modern life, we seldom have a chance to see decorative knots. However, in places such as shrines, temples, tea ceremony, incense ceremony, where Japanese tradition has been passed on over generations, it is still used to ward off evil, or as ornaments and tools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eKeiko Ishii\u003cbr\u003eI began decorative knotting in 2012. Attracted by the intricate methods of knotting and the beauty of kumihimo 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eCarrying on the tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThere 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.\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6621\/9493\/files\/DSC00007_22aafee3-b4f8-472c-9863-4cce44524d0f.jpg?v=1753934227\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour Contribution to Craftsman\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer Voice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eDue to the market structure (link for full articles are attached bottom), craftsman have not known who the customer is and how customer reacts to their work.

Between the 14th and 16th centuries, during the golden age of the Ryukyu Kingdom’s maritime trade, ceramics and \"Nanban-yaki\" techniques were introduced from China and Southeast Asia. During this era, imported pottery was the mainstay, and local production remained limited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA significant turning point occurred in 1609, following the invasion of Ryukyu by the Satsuma Domain. With trade heavily restricted under occupation, the kingdom was forced to develop self-sufficient industries for daily necessities. In 1682, seeking to bolster local industry, King Sho Tei of the Ryukyu Dynasty consolidated three scattered kilns—Wakuta, Takaguchi, and Chibana—into a single district south of Makishi in Naha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis newly established pottery center was named \"Tsuboya,\" and the ceramics produced there became known as \"Tsuboya-yaki.\" This consolidation marks the official birth and the enduring legacy of Tsuboya-yaki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eIkutoen Studio\u003cbr\u003eLocated in the historic Tsuboya district of Naha City, Ikutoen is a distinguished pottery studio (kamamoto) with a legacy spanning over 300 years of traditional Tsuboya-yaki craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003eThe Takaesu family, who have stewarded this craft for generations, established Ikutoen as an independent studio during the fifth generation.

Under sixth-generation master Tadashi Takaesu, we continue to breathe life into Okinawan clay, honoring the \"Senbori\" carving and Shisa traditions passed down from his father, Ikuo. Our craftsmanship is fueled by a spirit of \"Open Radiance\"—a burning passion that brings together artisans, locals, and travelers alike. By creating pottery that resonates with the modern era, we aim to convey the warmth of the human hand and the joy of connection, ensuring that the beautiful scenery and soul of Tsuboya endure for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6621\/9493\/files\/jpg.png?v=1771047519\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour Contribution to Craftsman\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer Voice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eDue to the market structure (link for full articles are attached bottom), craftsman have not known who the customer is and how customer reacts to their work.
