Hitai~
Good news for you who want to enjoy the autumn of art! How about art appreciation in Okinawa World?
Presently at the traditional craft corner in front of Fruit Lab
We display two traditional craft belts and two sake wares held by Okinawa World.
The band of "Yomitaniyama Kaori" produced in Yomitan Village.
The three-dimensional pattern of crest weaving and the gentle color of Fukugi dyeing are wonderful.
This is the work of Haruko Yamauchi.
Colorful "Bingata Dyeing" dyed belt.
It is a beautiful work with an evenly arranged pattern.
This is the work of Mr. Aijun Nawatariyama.
It is a sake bottle of "Wakuda ware" which is said to be the oldest of Okinawa's top ware (ware made with glaze).
Wakuda ware is a pottery produced in the Wakuda kiln (now near the Okinawa Prefectural Office) from the 16th to 18th centuries.
"Tonaki Bottle" is a container for putting Awamori in Shinto ritual etc.
Due to its complex shape, high technology is required for production.
All of them are valuable artifacts that cannot be easily seen.
Please take a look at it when you come.
