（お礼を言わせてください）妄想です＊＊＊＊
私：こんにちは、今日はお呼びだてしてすみません。
この着物を染められたあなたは、この頃の大変有名な染織家でいらっしゃったにちがいありません。アンティークの着物には落款や名が入っていないもので、わたしたちには誰の作品かわからないのですが。
職人：まあ、落款なんてもとは書画についているものだったし、わしたちの時代は個人の名をひけらかすことはなかったしな。わしもそういうタイプではないしな。
私：今日お呼びだてした理由は この素晴らしいアンティーク着物をつくってくださったことに 是非お礼をいいたくて。
とにかく「素晴らしい」なんて言葉では言い表せないくらいなんです。
職人：素晴らしいに決まってるだろうが！一体どれだけ時間と労力をかけたと思ってるんだ！
私：実はこの着物には「花の饗宴」と名付けたんです、そして・・・・・
職人：そして なんだ？ はっきり言え。
私：この着物の復刻版を作ったんです・・・・
職人：何をいってるかわからん。この着物は下絵が描かれて、丁寧に染めて、刺繍もくわえた、みんなの手仕事の集大成だ。お客様のご注文でな。
私：もちろんそうですよね。しかもきっと頼んだのはとてもお金持ちの・・・
職人：そんなこと言えるか！日本男児たるもの、ぺらぺらしゃべるもんじゃない。俺達みたいな職人は特にそうだ！
私：あ、はい、そうです、職人さんたちの技は本当にすごいです。着物がまるでキャンバスのようで、広げてみると一服の絵画のような工芸品なんです。時たま思うんですが、着たときに帯の下になって見えないようなところにまですごい柄が描いてあって、
着物って着るものだっていうことを考えてないような感じがするなって・・・
職人：それ、批判してるのか？
私：とんでもありません、ただただ素晴らしいってことを言いたかっただけで・・
職人：わしたちは仕事に誇りをもって、一切手を抜かずにやってきたんだ。時間がかかろうと手間がかかろうと、細部まで心血を注いできたんだ。あんたらの時代は「効率的」とやらが一番だろうけど。
私：結構話されるんですね。。。
職人：なんか妙なことになってきたな。そもそもあんたがなにか言いかけていたのだろうが。
私：はい、手短に言いますと、私達はあなたの着物のコピーを作ったんです。
職人：なんだと？できるはずがないだろうが。一人前の職人になるまで一体何年かかったとおもってるんだ！
私：説明させてください。イチロウが、あ、主人で、イチロウヤの代表なんですが、この着物を見たときズキュンとやられまして、オークションで競り勝って持って帰ってきたんです。みんなで見たとき、感嘆しました。「美しい」なんて言葉じゃ言えないくらい驚きました。
職人：それでそのイチロウとやらが、高い値段をつけたってわけだ。
私：いえ、売らなかったんです。
職人：なんだかややこしいな。だからなんなんだ。
私：もとのすべての柄をスキャンして、紙に再現したんです。それを布に移したんです。「昇華転写プリント」っていうやりかたです。これが私達が使っている機械なんです：
https://www.kimonotte.com/jp/page/common/pirntpc.html
それが言うほど簡単ではなくて、色がまず難しい、一つの色がうまく行ったと思ったら別の色が違って見えるーー何度も何度も元の色に近づけるためテストを繰り返します。
パソコンの画面上ではうまく行ったと思っても、プリントする布地によってまた変わってくる・・・絵羽模様となると柄が合うかどうか、作る着物のサイズによっても微妙に違ってくる・・・担当スタッフのYukoもAishaも、Yumiも泣きそうになりながら地道な作業をつづけたんです。
職人：そんなことは知ったこっちゃない。要は、あんたらは、それを自分たちの作ったものとして売ったんだ。そういうのを「泥棒」だって言うのをしらないのか？
私：日本では、著作物の権利は著作者の死後70年で消滅します、弁護士にも相談しました。
職人：とにかくあんたらは盗んだんだ。死んでるからって裁判は起こせなくても 化けて出てやることはできるからな！
私：もちろん、あなた方がいなければ、この復刻版もなかったんです。
何が起きているか説明させてください。
昨年、そして今年もアンティークの着物の復刻版を私達の店で皆さんに見せたんです。
そしたら、昨年も今年もやっぱりこの「花の饗宴」が一番の人気だったんです。
もとの色だけでなく、色違いも注文してくださる方もいらっしゃって・・・
職人：え？なんだって？色違いまで作ったのか？
私：実は帯も、帯揚げ、半衿も。あ、ストールも作りました。
職人：あれは着物なんだ、なんだってそんな色々なものまで。
私：だってあの柄は、特別でみなさんに愛されているんです。あなたのいらっしゃった戦前の時代に作られたものなんですが、今でも新鮮で 魅力的なんです。
皆さんがあの柄を好きになってくださって、喜んで身につけてくださってるんです。
私：昨日、事務所でもう一度この着物をよくよく眺めたんです。復刻版じゃなくて、もとの着物です。そしたら、この色鮮やかな花たちは本当に生き生きしていて、生命力に溢れてるんです。スウィングしているかのようにさえ見えたんです。だからこの特別な着物はみんなに愛されているんだってわかったんです。
職人：なんだかよくわからんが、ようするに、この着物の柄が沢山の人に愛されてよろこばれてるってことなんだな？そして、もともとは古くなって寿命があるもんだが、その後もたくさんの人が喜んで身に着けてるってことなんだな？
私：そうなんです。あなたのお名前も知りませんが、これが百年近く前のアンティークの柄の復刻だっていう頃は皆さんがご存知なんです。あなたのお仕事が、今も皆さんをハッピーにしているんです。
職人：なんだかよくわからんが、もう行くとするか。あんたの感謝の気持とやらは しかたないからうけとっておくか。
私：ありがとうございます。ずっとこのことを伝えたかったんです。そしてできればあの時代の他の職人さんたちにも あなたからお礼を伝えてもらえたらなあと。
職人：そりゃちょっと図々しいんじゃないか？
あ、あんたたち店を閉めるって？ま、そういうこともあるだろうさ。ま、元気でやりな。

My imaginary conversation with the craftsman
Dear Sir
Thank you for taking your time to come here to talk with me, Sir.
You must have been a famous dyer of the time, even though we have no clue for the kimono has no labels, no dyer's stamp, rakkan or anything.
(Well, I do not know why I am here for but I hope it is not a boring thing.)
You know, those rakkan, dyer's stamps are rather from a newer age, rakkan are originally for paintings and calligraphic works. Of course, rakkan on kimono takes important role to prove authenticity sometimes, but we know, not all rakkan are meaningful.
(Yes, in my time, individual craftsman didn't think rakkan were necessary, besides, I am not the `show-off' type of a person).
Ok, the main reason I am talking to you is to let you know how thankful we are for the work you did, I mean making this particular kimono.
This kimono is absolutely gorgeous, I wish I knew the appropriate words to express the beauty of the kimono.
(Of course, this is gorouges, how much time and work did you think we spent to make this kimono! Is this the reason you asked me to come all the way?)
I named the kimono, `Hana no Kyoen' (Feast of Flowers), when, we ....
(When you what? Speak out!)
When we reprint and remade the kimono.
(I do not understand. The kimono was designed, dyed and applied embroideries and finally tailored by a customer's order. It is our team-work.)
Yes, of course, and ordered by a woman from a rich family, we assume.
(I cannot tell, it is confidentiality, besides, Japanese men are not talkative. Talking much is not a virtue. We craftsmen did our best to complete the work, that's all.)
Yes I noticed, kimono designs are like a piece of paintings, I mean art. When kimono are spread wide, each of them look like a piece of paintings, or an impressive tapestry. Sometimes I noticed, some craftsmen were not aware of kimono being worn, you, oh, I do not mean YOU, but sometimes the beautiful part of the design are covered by obi.
( Are you critisizing me?)
No, never, I just said what I felt sometimes......
(I do not know what you are talking about. We were so proud of our work, we never slacked off. We poured all our energy to what we do. No matter how much time and effort it took. I heard it is quite different from the way in your time, I heard efficiency is the virtue for you.)
Oh, you talk a lot! I am surprised.
(It is getting strange, why am I getting so heated? Oh, it is your fault, you were going to say something. Say what you need to say!)
OK, we made a copy of your work, in short.
(No, you could not. How long did you think I worked to be qualified fully as a craftsman.)
Let me explain. When Ichiro, he is my husband and the president of our kimono webstore, ICHIROYA, anyway, he thought the kimono was exceptional at his first look. He brought back this kimono from an auction, and we were all bit by the beauty of this kimono. The word `beauty' may not be giving justice to the kimono. It was so full of life.
(So your Ichiro sold the kimono putting a huge price, I assume.)
No, we did not sell the kimono. We reproduced new kimono with exactly the same design.
(It is getting weird, just explain to me.)
We scanned all the part of the design, and reproduced on paper and then transferred by heat, thermal transfer is what we call.
The machine we used is called `sublimation transfer printer'.
https://www.kimonotte.com/en/page/common/pirntpc.html
It was not as easy as we talk. The colors are so tricky, it took a long time and many testing to get closer to the original colors to the details. Tailoring was also difficult, matching the patterns at seamlines depending on different size...and so on. Our staff Yuko, Aisha and Yumi worked hard making the deta again and again.
(Umm, and you sold whatever you made as if they are your original? Did't you think it is an act of `shameless thief'?)
In Japan, copyright of the original creater expires 70 years after the creater's death.
We consulted a lawyer also.
(So you stole the design, no matter what you think. I cannot sue you but I can still appear as a spirit to torment you for life!)
I know. Without your work, there was no reproduction. I wanted to tell you about what has happened.
We made kimono with your design, and also some other design and showed them to our customers as `made to ordr' kimono.
We received many order from last year, and this year, we included this Hana no Kyoen kimono, which is your design again as summer kimono line up together with other vintage kimono design.
Again, this Hana no Kyoen kimono became most popular. Some customers even ordered in other color besides the original color one they had.
(Wait, wait, you made the kimono in other colors too? )
Actually we made obi, obiage, and haneri collar also.
(No way, it was a perfect design kimono, one and only, I cannot remember but I might have made a few of the same design kimono , but definitely not by printing. but dyed by my own hand.)
I wanted to tell you, how much this kimono design has been loved. People loved the design.
The kimono was from long time ago, before WWII but it is so fresh and so alive.
Young kimono wearers love this particular design and enjoy putting them on as kimono,
obi and accessories.
Yesterday, I was alone in our office, I spread the kimono to look at once again.
Not the one we printed, but the one you dyed. The flowers were full of life, the colors were so vivid and subtle. The blooming flowers were delightful as if they were singing and swinging. I could know why people were so fascinated by this kimono.
(Is it true many girls love my work?)
Yes, it is true. I have made the short video. I dedicate the video to you to show our gratitude and respect. Also you can check our Instagram to see how many people are wearing kimono, obi and other things with your design with joy.
(I still don't know what you are talking about, but I guess my kimono made many people happy, is that the thing? After so many years? And my design keeps living even the original kimono gets old and becomes not wearable any more?)
Yes, exactly. I do not know your name but everyone knows the design is from this vintage kimono and they love the design and wear them happily.
Yes, you definitely made many people happy.
(Well, I should be going. I am not sure exactly what you were doing, but I accept your gratitude.)
Domo arigatogozaimasu. I always wanted to convey this appreciation and hope you could convey this to other craftsmen also for us.
(What a nerve! Oh, I heard Ichiro and you are closing the store. Good bye and good luck.)

Konnichiwa Minasan, Ogenki desuka?
Rainy season has officially started in our area, and it has been raining off and on all
week. About this time of year, after water was drawn into nearby rice
patties, insects, geckos, frogs... come back to my garden..... realy a
scary sight.
But, it is a party time for my beagle Marin. Marin likes chasing geckos, finding
little jumping insects and frogs all night. Sometimes, I find her all
muddy and dirty in rain.....sigh....
Hope you enjoy some photos of lazy and crazy Marin.

This is Yoko writing this week's newsletter. Ohisahi buri desu.
I hope everyone is safe and keeping away from the Coronavirus! Go away!
I am thankful for mine and my children's good health, thankful for my job and being able to keep in touch with our customers!
Minasan, ganbari masho!
The views of Osaka and Kyoto have turned 100% different now.
Flights have been cancelled and there is almost no tourists coming to the cities of Kansai.
I know many of our customers have come to Japan before and know a lot
(maybe more than I know!) about Japan.
Perhaps maybe you had a plan to visit Japan this Spring to view Sakura or this summer to stroll at Fushimi Inari..
Zannen desu...
Imagine Minasan, now that all the flights are cancelled, but if you have a way to come to Japan for one day,
what would you buy or do in Japan? where would you go?
I am soooo curious! to know what do people most crave about Japan!!!???
I am grateful if you would take a minute or two to reply the below short survey!!

3) things I want to buy
4) if you can reach Japan through Ichiroya, what would you ask for??
We will let you know what is the most beloved and missed things about
Japan in my next newsletter!!!
Otano shimini!!
You may already know, we have our another website `kimonotte' to sell new product based on vintage design (some are from other source). We see so many kimono and obi everyday but still we are amazed by unique and breathtaking design of old and vintage kimono and obi. They are sometimes even more novelity and look fresh after many years! Of course their graces are what we feel most of the time but so much variety of design are never boring.
However, we notice, the designs we like and the customers from abroad like are different.
Here, Japanese customers love Taisho romantic, kawaii (cute) design but you may not feel the same. What type of design do you like? Traditional and auspicious design like pine trees, kiku(chrysanthemums) or cranes? We are really curious!
If you could let us know what kind of Japanese design you like, and if you like to use them in your home, (may be you like the design as one of the home decoration thing in your house?)we will be so happy to hear that.
We have this printing machine to make product like obi, kimono, stole or accessories.
Well, most of the things are kimono-relating things but if you like these design around you with any product, we may be able to offer you:-)
Here are some examples.
Kimonotte product:
Furisode with birds
We have a lot more! You can see them in our kimonotte website.
If you find the design you like at Ichiroya website, we like to hear that too.
Here is our kimonotte website:
https://www.ichiroya.com/kimonotte/
And Ichiroya website:
If you could let us know what type of design you like and what are the things you like to have the design from kimono or obi, we are really interested to hear!
domo arigato gozaimasu for reading our newsletter.
dewar mata, see you again on the net:-)

ICHIROYAニュースレター 第219号
着物の生地はなにでできているか？言葉はちょっとあやふやですね？
「絹」「正絹」・・・どちらもシルク(silk)ですね。
「合繊」「交織」・・・うーんこちらもわかりにくいかも。合繊は合成繊維（人工的につくられた） そして交織は違う素材のものを組み合わせてあります。例えば絹とレーヨンなど。天然の素材と人工的な素材を合わせたものが多いですね。
繊維（fiber)に行く前に まず「糸」はなにからできている？
はい、プロテイン（タンパク質）、セルロース、そして石油。
シルクやウールはプロテインでできていますね お蚕さんと羊さんに感謝！
プロテインをもやすと・・・「ボン！」と何かかが爆発したときのコメディーの一場面を想像してみてください 顔が黒くなって髪がチリチリってやつです
これがシルクが燃えたのと同じなんです チリチリ燃えるけど燃え続けず止まって、灰は黒い粉のよう。
こちらが絹を燃やした動画です：
黒い染料があると、ちょっと燃え方がちがいますが・・・
ウールを燃やすとシルクと似てはいますがにおいがちがいます
ウールのほうが獣的な変なにおいといいますか・・・
そして絹とウールでは手触りがちがいます ウールのほうが少し「チクチク」します
やさしくなでてみるか 頬にあててみて少しチクチクするのがウールです
シルク・コットン（綿）・ウール（毛製品）は短繊維からできていますがウールだけこの「チクチク」があるのです （肌が敏感な方はウールのチクチクが苦手ですよね）
植物由来のものはセルロースでできています（セルロース＝植物の細胞壁や植物繊維）
コットンも、麻も人絹（レーヨン）もこの仲間です
これらは燃やすといずれも 燃え続けて灰になります
こちらは人絹を燃やしたところーー燃え続けていくのでコワイ！
では どうやってこの生地は何ぞや？と判断すればよいのでしょう？
コットンや麻は短繊維で似ていますが、麻のほうがなめらかでコットンのほうが表面の手触りにざらつきがかんじられます
人絹は そもそも絹の代用品として作られましたがたいてい長繊維です 人絹はパルプでできていますので「紙」だと思ってもらえばいいでしょう 絹に似せて作られただけあって 絹との見分けがむつかしい！場合があります 顕微鏡でみると人絹の表面は本当になめらかで均一でいかにも人口的！です
コットン・麻・人絹たちは 紙を燃やした感じと思ってもらうとよいでしょう
まずは手触りを感じて こうじゃないかな？とあたりをつけてから 燃やしてみてください～ 顕微鏡でみるのもＧｏｏｄ！
燃やすにあたっては可能ならば経糸と緯糸を別々に燃やすとなおよいでしょう
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
ここからの写真はお月様の表面じゃありませんよ～
麻と綿の表面を顕微鏡でみたところです
能登上布（麻） 50ｘ
近江上布（麻） 50ｘ
奈良晒（麻）50ｘ
弓浜絣（綿）50ｘ
益子木綿（綿）50ｘ
備後絣（綿）50ｘ
表面のなめらかさの違い、ごらんいただけましたか？
ではでは難問です～これはほんとにわかりにくいですが・・・
↓↓↓
八重山交布 経糸は綿で緯糸は麻です 顕微鏡でみてもこれはわかりにくい！
そしてこちらはどうでしょう？↓↓↓
人絹です～ これはアンティークの絽の着物の繊維です
とってもなめらかで均一なのがよくわかります よくできてますなあ
あの難問（八重山交布）もむつかしいですが コットンのなかにも非常に細い糸で織られたものなど分かりにくいです そんな時は麻なのかコットンなのかはたまた人絹なのか・・・触るだけでなく顕微鏡で確認など総合的な判断が必要でしょう
こちらはポリエステルをもやしたところ・・・燃やしたところがかたまって触ると固いです 灰にはなりません ビニロンやアクリルもなかま（長繊維の合成繊維）です
最近の合成繊維の進化のすばらしさは皆さんもご存じでしょう
触っただけではベテランの業界人も？？どっちだろう？となる場合もありますが 燃やしてみると一目瞭然です
あまり聞かれたことがないかもしれませんがそれ以外の合成繊維に「アセテート」と「プロミックス」があります
アセテートは子供の着物によくみられて つるりと表面に光沢があり、一見シルクのようですが パルプと酢酸でできているので 長期保管のものにはお酢のようなすっぱい！においがする場合がよくあります
アセテートを燃やしたところ ↓↓↓
最後にプロミックスは業界で「牛乳」とよばれます （初めて聞いたときは？？？）でした 牛乳のタンパク質（プロテイン）とアクリル原料をミックスしたので プロミックスと呼ばれるんですね～
それが サラリとした「大島紬」にとても良く似た表面の手触りなのです もちろん燃やしてみればわかりますが・・・
いかがでしょう、ざっくりと天然素材と合成繊維、これはなんぞや？の謎が解けましたでしょうか？
最後に有終の美のお月様、イエイエ こちらは芭蕉布
↓↓↓きれいな薄茶が神々しい つるり、パリッとした芭蕉布の表面です

Kimono Flea Market ICHIROYA's News Letter No.842
I like to talk about our good friend Akemi san from Nagasaki in this newsletter.
Nagasaki is one of the prefecture in Kyusyu island in Japan. Nagasaki has a unique history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagasaki) . The city of Nagasaki has a lot of historical sight seeing places yet it is a local city and there was no vintage kimono shops.
Akemi san (Akemi Tagawa) has been a collector of vintage kimono and has been our customer over 10 years. Before we met, she was collecting vintage kimono by visiting actual antique stores. In 2017, she had her first exhibition of her collection in Dejima in Nagasaki. This shows she has this ability to take action ( she is a petite woman but full of energy!)
I wrote about her exhibition in our past newsletter:
http://kyouki.hatenablog.com/entry/2017/05/08/010601
In her newsletter, she wrote her dream of showing her collection became true, but it was just a beginning. The exhibition was held in spring and then she opened her own vintage kimono shop at the end of the same year!
She is planning to hold another exhibition next year, and says she is appreciating this emergency moment for the preparation of the exhibition.
Whenever I talk with her, I am overwhelmed by her passion toward vintage kimono.
At her facebook page, she was sharing her mother's photo. Her mother has passed away
in March after being ill for 15 years.
She was clening out her belongings and found the photo of her mother wearing this kinsha silk kimono. She is always enchanged by decorative, romantic design kimono but somehow she liked this kimono from her mother but did not know her mother was wearing this kimono actually until she found the photo. The kimono is now her treasure with her mother's memory.
This pandemic of the CoronaVirus is causing a lot of damage to everyone, and this long time sheltered life is giving us unspeakable fear, of course about the desease itself but also the damage of economy. She said `kimono never get rotten' in her cheerful voice.
I have been hearing people speaking negative words in gloomy tone recently ( I think I myself was starting to forget smile) but her voice made me smile.
She does not have webstore, her actual store is in Nagasaki.
This is her shop:
She started to show her collection at Facebook page, I am sure you can enjoy her collection items. https://www.facebook.com/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%81%8D%E3%82%82%E3%81%AE-%E3%81%B9%E3%81%A3%E3%81%B4%E3%82%93-2047867892156956/
