Summer \u2014 The cotton sown in spring is growing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cotton Boll<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In autumn, the cotton bolls open and the cotton ‘flowers’ appear \u2014 though they’re not really flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand-Spinning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Hand-Spinning\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was captivated by the wonder of soft cotton turning into strong, continuous thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continue practicing every day to spin yarn that feels truly satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I dye yarn using materials found around me \u2014 chestnut, koubunagusa, indigo, and more. The joy of unexpected colors, and the disappointment when colors turn out differently \u2014 both are part of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand-Weaving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tap, tap\u2026 tap, tap\u2026 There is a quiet happiness when the weaving goes forward in rhythm \u2014 just a little more, one more step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tsumami-ito<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When tsumami-ito, drawn from waste cocoons, is woven together with the weft, it becomes Tamba Cloth \u2014\na traditional craft that originated in Aogaki, Tamba City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
