New Project, Tokin (Yamabushi or Tengu) costume making

-

  I am making Tokin for Yamabusi / Tengu costume, a head gear.


Real one is made from fabric, Urushi laquared.

Mine is made from paper and Ikkanbari method Washi paper layered to make it study.


兜巾（ときん）を製作してみました。
本物は布でできていて漆で塗り固めたものだそうです。
私が作ったのは紙製で、一閑張りの手法で和紙を重ねて強くしてあります

紐と梵天をつけて出来上がる予定です

I am reading " The 12 Kingdoms " by Fuyumi Ono (centre of the picture is that one) My friend in germany will be back to Tokyo this middle of summer and she told me she could fix a lunch with one of her friend from Spanish family.  I'd love to join in. I have to brush up my spanish . Actually, it is not coming to any steps of brush up, I am struggling in constructing and how to expand the masculine or feminine. I love passing time with sewing, reading and watching over some anime movies, like detective Conan. #Matchlatte, #Inden -Nat

イメージ
I made some ponies and listed. This green one has very traditional patterns fabric covered buttons. Kemai and Seigaiha. Kemai is the pattern you can see on the Shishimai Lion dance.  And the seigaiha , the repeated wave pattern is a symbol of eternal and peace. Green is also a symbol of "ever" in Japan. I listed else, like pinky purple ones, very gentle color, vivid purple and white combination one. What kind of designs you like? Unique traditional one, or modern design, soft color, retro bold design? -Natsu
