- Celebrating a traditional Japanese craft, in this short documentary we journey to the remarkable island of Amami Oshima in the southern oceans of Japan, to follow the elaborate handmade production of a traditional Japanese Kimono. A staggering five hundred people are involved in producing the island's famous mud-dyed silk which takes several months to produce. The painstaking process of producing this silk and it then being bound, hand dyed, woven and finally turned into the beautiful, iconic and symbolic Kimono that we all know is documented closely in this documentary. Along the way we not only discover the history of the kimono tradition but also the many difficulties facing the kimono industry in modern Japan.
Handmade In Japan is a short trilogy of films that take a closer look at the incredible and iconic items that originate from Japan. The Samurai Sword, the Kimono and Japanese Pottery. Each film focuses on the process behind the craft as well as looking at their importance in Japanese culture.
There are people in Japan that wear kimono every day. This is also a specific method, in a specific area of Japan. Not all kimonos are processed the same way.
Can you explain why you say, "people wear kimono" instead of "a kimono"? Is wearing kimono a lifestyle? Thanks
as a weaver myself I appreciate the method and history that goes behind this method of weaving thank you very much for keeping this traditional way of weaving alive and I would love to learn to weave this style of cloth as well
Its an incredible artform amd the results are breathtaking. Those that are masters of this craft have years and years of study. The prices asked for these beautiful works are low compared to the amount of labor and time invested ❤
This will go on for generations
Such a beautiful tradition.
I own a couple of Kimonos. They are my most beautiful treasure.
Now, i will love to make my own kimono, but my Japanese friends are gone!
...MASTER- PIECE 🏆 🎥
Hermoso 😊
Thank you for creating such a fantastic video! I noticed that the thumbnail might not depict a traditional kimono. Would it be possible to update it with an image that represents a real kimono? I believe it would better reflect the authenticity of your content. Thanks!
Wonderful art work ❤
it is very interresting, thank you. Was the video made the same year it was released?
Highly doubt it, given the computer the designer was using
