Description

[Machine Translation] Originating in the Bengal region of India, kantha is made by layering old saris (women's garments) and dhotis (men's loin cloths), which are no longer worn, and then reproducing them using the stitching technique. The patterned, finely stitched, and reinforced cloth was given a new life as a cloth for daily life, used as a quilt, a mattress, or a baby's swaddling cloth. The free and generous patterns, which expand the imaginary world of Bengali women, are folk art of daily life using recycled old cloths, but their high artistic quality captures the hearts of many people. The author first encountered kantha in India in the 1970s, studied the technique on her own, and has continued to create works. This exhibition introduces creative kantha made in Japan ( at the end of the Silk Road ) and a collection of precious old kantha collected for research purposes.

Description in Japanese

カンタ刺繍 そのモチーフと技法 インド・ベンガル地方で生まれた美しい刺し子の手仕事 / 望月真理/著

インド、ベンガル地方で生まれたカンタは、もう着なくなった古いサリー(女性の衣服)やドウティー(男性の腰布)を重ね、刺し子の技法をほどこして再生させた布。模様と細かな地縫いがされて補強された布は、掛け布や敷き布に、赤ちゃんのおくるみに、生活の布として新しい命が吹き込まれました。ベンガルの女性たちの空想の世界が広がる、自由で大らかな模様は、古い布を再生して使う暮らしの民藝でありながら、その芸術性の高さは多くの人の心をとらえます。著者は、1970年代にインドでカンタに出会い、独学でその手法を調べ、作品を作り続けてきました。「シルクロードの果て」の日本で作られる独創的なカンタと、研究のために集めた貴重なオールド・カンタのコレクションをご紹介します。
