Description
| *Warm wood block print This is a lovely handkerchief with a rustic, warm print and lots of Indian charm! The material is soft and easy to use, making it perfect for everyday use! You will want to collect many of them with different patterns ^^. *Charming Indian Cloth Mud-dyeing (dove printing) is a process in which a muddy paste, which prevents the cloth from being dyed, is applied to a wood block (wooden plate) with a pattern carved on it and pressed onto the cloth. Then, wheat hulls are sprinkled over the paste and onto the cloth. Then the wheat hulls will stick to the mud and dry in the sun. Then we soak them in the indigo dye solution, let them dry, and stamp them again with a wood block... This process is repeated over and over again until the indigo blue color is achieved. The history of this mud-dyeing process is said to have started around the 8th century near the village of Akola in India, and it is a process with a long history. *The crystal of handmade In India, there is a technique called wood block, which is made by hand-stamping hand-carved woodblocks. In Japan today, cloth is printed as if it were a newspaper being printed, but long ago, people in India, who did not have sophisticated printing machines and other equipment, came up with the idea of woodblock printing in order to beautifully dye their own cloth with their own hands. This handkerchief is one of the products made by the old-fashioned method using wood block printing. The patterns of small flowers and vines that Indian women love, the light colors, and the slightly off-kilter patterns that only handmade fabrics can produce, remind us of the land far, far away. It is a small piece of cloth, but even within it is filled with tradition and a continental sense of beauty. It is the result of careful handwork that takes a long time to complete, as the plates are changed every time the colors change. India is a treasure trove of beautiful cloth, but cloth made of woodblock has a special charm of its own. *How woodblock products are made Tilakita staff visited a local woodblock print factory.

こちらは素朴で温かいプリントが可愛いく、インドならではの魅力がたくさん詰まった素敵なハンカチです！
素材も柔らかく使いやすいので、普段使いに最適です！柄違いでたくさん集めたくなってしまいますね＾＾
■魅力的なインド布
泥染め（ダブプリント）は、布地が染まるのを防ぐ泥状のペーストを模様が彫られたウッドブロック(木版)につけて布に押していきます。そして布につけたペースとへ、細かくなった小麦の籾殻を撒きます。そうすると小麦の皮が先ほどの泥にくっついてくれるので天日干しします。
そして藍染めの液に浸しては乾かし、またウッドブロックで判子を押して…ということを綺麗なインディゴの青になるまで何度も繰り返し大変手間暇をかけ作られています。この泥染めの歴史は、インドのアコラ村付近で8世紀頃から始まったと言われており歴史のある製法です。
■ハンドメイドの結晶
インドには手で彫った木版を、手でスタンプして作り上げるウッドブロックという技法があります。現在の日本では布はまるで新聞が印刷されるようにしてプリントされていきますが、その昔、高度な印刷機などを持たなかったインドの人々は自分たちの手で自分たちの布を綺麗に染めようと、木版を考えだしたのでした。
このハンカチはウッドブロックプリントを使って、昔ながらの手法で作られた一品です。インドの女性たちが大好きな小花やつる草の模様、淡い色彩、手作りならではのちょっとずれた柄が、はるか遠くの大地を思わせます。小さな布ですが、その中にも伝統と大陸の美意識が詰まっています。
色が変わるたびに版を交換するため非常に時間のかかる丁寧な手仕事の賜物といえます。インドは美しい布の宝庫ですが、ウッドブロッグでできた布はその中でも特別な魅力がありますね。
