ワークショップのために、厳島組を組んでいるところをビデオに撮りました。2部に分かれています。
To prepare for the workshop of Itsukushima-gumi, I read the book "National Treasure Heike Nokyo (Heike clan’s sutra dedication)" written by Shigemi Komatsu. It is written that Taira (Heike) no Kiyomori (who had overwhelming power in Japan in the 12th century) ordered 32 male members of the Heike clan to dedicate one volume each of the Lotus Sutra and other works to Itsukushima Shrine. With the name of the clan at stake, they must have competed to make gorgeous scrolls by commissioning the best craftsmen, calligraphers, and painters, using luxurious materials such as precious paper, gold leaf, and gold powder, without worrying about money. All of the completed decorative sutras are splendid with elaborate designs. The size and style of painting are different, but interestingly, the winding cords are unified.
Questions were asked at the end of the workshop. “Was the Itsukushima-gumi created for the Heike Nokyo, or did it exist before that?'' Now, I don't know. However, I thought if I had been the Kumihimo master in charge, and if I had seen the efforts of other masters, I would have come up with a new design instead of the existing Kumihimo style. I myself was surprised by this answer. It certainly is my idea about it, but I didn't realize it until the question was asked. Thanks to the questioner.
The bottom of the photo shows Saidai temple Daijingu Goseitai Zushichō, which is very similar to Itsukushima-gumi. This is shown in the photo 29 of Professor Masako Kinoshita's "Study of Archaic Braiding Techniques in Japan", not the one hanging vertically, but the one sewn horizontally.
For the workshop, I made 2 video footages showing how to braid Itsukushima-gumi with Kute.
