道内から団体のお客様
今回は、道内から団体のお客様がハンカチの染物体験にお越しくださいました。
染める前から「どんな色にしよう？」「どんな模様にしよう？」と、それぞれにイメージを膨らませながら体験スタート。
染め方や色の組み合わせによって仕上がりが変わるため、同じ体験をしていても、完成する作品は一枚一枚違います。
そして、出来上がったハンカチを並べてみると……
青、緑、黄色、ピンクなど、色とりどりの個性あふれる作品が完成しました！
同じ染物体験でも、選ぶ色や模様、染め方によって表情が変わるのが染物の面白いところです。
皆さんが完成したハンカチを手に、笑顔で作品を見せてくださる姿がとても印象的でした。
そして嬉しいことに、体験後には、
「次はストールや風呂敷も染めてみたい！」
というお言葉もいただきました。
ハンカチから始まって、次はストール、そして風呂敷へ。
染めるものが変わると、また違った楽しみ方や作品づくりができます。
今回の体験が、皆さんにとって楽しい時間となり、完成したハンカチが日々の暮らしの中で使うたびに、今回の思い出を思い出していただける一枚になれば嬉しく思います。
ご参加いただいた皆さま、ありがとうございました。
またぜひ、次の染物体験にも遊びにいらしてください！
A Colorful Dyeing Experience in Hokkaido
We were delighted to welcome a group of guests from Hokkaido for a special Japanese textile dyeing experience.
This time, everyone created their own original handkerchief.
Before starting, the participants carefully thought about which colors and patterns they wanted to create. Since each person could choose their own colors and dyeing techniques, every handkerchief turned out completely unique.
When the dyeing was finished and everyone revealed their creations, we were surrounded by a beautiful variety of colors and patterns.
Some chose shades of blue, while others created colorful combinations of green, yellow, pink, and more. Each piece reflected the personality and creativity of its creator.
One of the most enjoyable things about dyeing is that there is no single right answer. By choosing colors and creating patterns themselves, everyone becomes the designer of their own piece.
It was wonderful to see everyone smiling and proudly showing their finished handkerchiefs.
We were also very happy to hear:
“Next time, we’d like to try dyeing a stole or a furoshiki!”
A furoshiki is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that can be used in many different ways. A stole offers another opportunity to enjoy color and pattern on a larger piece of fabric.
We hope that the handkerchiefs everyone created will become something they can use in their everyday lives—and that each time they use them, they will remember this fun day of dyeing.
Thank you very much for joining us!
We look forward to welcoming you again for another Japanese dyeing experience in Hokkaido.
