Textile Design 8:Bar





Today's featured textile design is "Bar"("san"), used for recent hit products like Kimono Slv shirt, Fishermans pants, and Scarf.



Old japanese houses used to have Shoji paper screen window and window panel, made with a refined sense.
I think the aesthetic of the master carpenter was reflected on these designs at the time.
So I expressed the alternating style of the crossing window panel bars with this design.



昔の家は障子や窓枠には粋なものが多い。
当時の棟梁の美意識が反映しているのだろう。
互い違いに組まれた棧(さん)の粋さを表現した。

(脇坂克二)
