Textile Design 5: Chrysanthemum Burst





Today's featured textile is "Chrysanthemum Burst"very popular pattern used for our Ise-cotton Scarf.



For me, Chrysanthemum is an easy motif to design with. You can add as many petals as you want, so I kept adding them and adjusted the balance and rhythm of the petals to create "Kiku Zukushi"
I think the balance and rhythm is a very important element of textile design.



僕にとって菊というのはデザインしやすいものだ。
花びらをどれだけでも増やしていけるから、どんどん描き込んでいって
あとでバランスとかリズムをよくしていったのが“菊づくし”。
このバランスとリズムというものがテキスタイルデザインにはとても大事だと思う。
