The Process of Braiding Tradition: Japanese Kumihimo in Interior Design
The Process of Braiding Tradition: Japanese Kumihimo in Interior Design ▶Product in Video: https://suigenkyo.store/collections/k... ▶Craftsman Profile Keiko Ishii I began decorative knotting in 2012. Attracted by the intricate methods of knotting and the beauty of kumihimo braided ropes, I decided to become an artist because, despite being a traditional art, decorative knots are not well known and there are few artisans. In 2015, I held my first exhibition at Banshu Kiyomizu Temple, because knots are deeply associated with Bhuddism. In addition to traditional designs, I make earings, necklaces and other accessories, as well as interior decorations for restaurants and historic hotels (ryokan). Keiko Ishii's work is produced using machine braided cords. ▶Craftsman Passion Carrying on the tradition There are over 100 knots in decorative knotting and artwork made by combining the knots seems infinite. I find wonder in the endless possibility of decorative knots. A unique characteristic of Japanese decorative knotting is that it uses a single, continuous rope from beginning to end, without cutting or joining. This comes from the culture of valuing something that is long and continuous, and avoiding discontinuity or interruption, for example with relationships and personal contact. Some artwork uses 10~20 m of rope and it requires much concentration and perseverence to continuously tie it. It is tough work, but I value such Japanese tradition and strive to make my artwork from single, uncut rope. In my work, I honor tradition while striving to create artwork that will add color to modern life. Decorate your room or wear the knots to ward off evil or as a symbol of happiness.
