ABOUT
絣（かすり）は、染め分けた糸を織り合わせて模様を生み出す織物です。白と紺の濃淡が織りなす幾何学文や吉祥文は、着物や布団地として庶民に寄り添い暮らしを彩ってきました。柳宗悦は、その精緻な工程に人為を超えた美を見出し、「その手法は美しい夢を産んでくれる」と評しました。本展では、絣に魅せられた村穂久美雄氏が鳥取県西部で蒐集した弓浜絣を中心にご紹介します。

The Tottori Folk Crafts Museum opened in Tottori, Japan, in 1949. It was established as the Tottori Mingeikan by Yoshida Shōya , local advocate of the mingei folk craft movement, who formed a craft guild in 1931 and opened the craft shop "Takumi" in the city the following year. In 1933, Yoshida opened a shop by the same name in Tokyo's Ginza district. Both shops are still in operation as of 2023. The building in which the Tottori museum is housed was designated a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2012.
