what kind of buds shall I sprout
what kind of leaves shall I grow
what kind of blossoms shall I bloom
what kind of fruit shall I bear
from this rich land
Focusing on the strength of roots, which absorbs nutrients and uses them as energy, and thinking toward future growth. That creativity is due to the fact that the students have been training continually at the school and have been nurturing the roots of studying.
From the beginning, there was a plan to create a tapestry to hang in the entrance of the school. The 220cm wide and 126cm tall tsuzure-ori tapestry attracts viewers with its delicate color scheme and its expressions shown through weaving, using tsuzure-ori skills to the fullest, making the roots look as if they are rising from the surface. It is interesting to look at, from both near and far. Students can make something like this after studying for a year. Their growth can also be seen in that way.
This school that teaches handweaving exists as a place to create the future, so to speak. The piece, powerfully made in such a place by students looking towards the future, suits the entrance space nicely. When you visit the school, please take a look at "Me Moyu." A fresh sense of creativity shines through.
