Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BPVBK5X Tuesday, October 18 at 7 pm ET The bingata method of textile dyeing is a vibrant artistic tradition with a long history on Japan’s subtropical Okinawan islands. Originally reserved for the sumptuous garb of the royalty and ruling class of the Ryukyu Kingdom, these traditional hand-dyeing techniques are still being carried on by craftspeople in Okinawa today. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Okinawa’s reversion to Japan, this program explores the fascinating history, unique methods and current state of bingata with textile specialist Ginny Soenksen, and bingata craftsman Toma Chinen. The first event in our multi-part Living Traditions webinar series this season. Speakers Ginny Soenksen, Director, Madison Art Collection and Lisanby Museum Toma Chinen, 10th generation head of the Shimujiibu line of the Chinen family of bingata craftsmen; President of the Chinen Bingata Institute Moderator Dr. Masato Ishida, Director, Center for Okinawan Studies, University of Hawai`i, Mānoa Agenda 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT) Discussion and Q&A Program Details This is a free event, with advance registration required.
