備後絣團隊拜訪了位於府中市中須町的橘高兄弟商社。
The Bingo Kasuri team visited Kitsutaka Brothers Trading Company in Nakasu-cho, Fuchu City.
備後絣曾是日本三大絣(久留米絣、伊予絣、備後絣)之一,也是日本主要的絣絣產地之一。
Bingo Kasuri was once counted as one of Japan's three major kasuri fabrics (Kurume, Iyo, and Bingo), and was one of the leading kasuri production areas in Japan.
It is said to have originated from kasuri fabrics created by Tomita Kyuzaburo after extensive research into weaving at the end of the Edo period. It was registered as a "Hiroshima Prefecture Designated Traditional Craft" in 1992 (Heisei 4).

綿花から収穫した木綿を綿繰り機で種子と繊維部分に分け、綿打ち弓で繊維の方向を揃えます。(綿打ち)
從綿株上收穫的綿花,用軋綿機分離成綿籽和纖維,再用打綿弓(綿打)將纖維排列整齊。
The cotton harvested from the cotton plant is separated into seeds and fibers using a cotton gin, and the fibers are aligned with a cotton beating bow (cotton beating).
搗碎的綿花被分成容易拿取的塊狀,捆紮在一起製成“じんぎ”,然後用紡車紡線。這就是綿線的製作方法。
The pounded cotton is separated into pieces that are easy to hold and bundled together to make jingi, which are then used to spin the thread on a spinning wheel. This is how cotton thread is made.
Indigo leaves do not dissolve in water as they are, so water is added to the sukumo, which is made by fermenting and drying the leaves, and the mixture is fermented again.
The dyeing process involves "indigo dyeing." Indigo develops its color when exposed to air, so the dyeing process involves repeatedly dipping the fabric in the dye solution, squeezing it out, exposing it to air (oxidation), and drying it.
2024年在貝原歷史博物館體驗藍染
Indigo dyeing experience at Kaihara Historical Museum in 2024
より濃い青を出すには、繰り返し染めます。
〇靛藍染色棉線
需要反覆染色才能達到更深的藍色。
〇Indigo dyed cotton thread Repeated dyeing is required to achieve a deeper blue.
靛藍染料名稱
Name of indigo dye
為了用絣來製作圖案,染色時會用線將紗線未染色的部分綁起來,使其保持白色。然後,將這些部分組合在一起,便形成了圖案。
To create a pattern with Kasuri, the parts of the yarn that are not dyed are tied with thread when dyeing, leaving them white. These parts are then combined to create the pattern.
藍染は、糸の芯まで染まります。デニムは、糸の芯までは染めません。白く残します。ですからデニムは、表面が擦れてくると糸の芯の白が出てきます。藍染の糸は、擦れても色が変化しません。
靛藍染料會滲透到線芯。牛仔布不會完全染到線芯,而是保持白色。因此,當牛仔布表面被磨損時,線芯的白色會顯露出來。靛藍染色的線即使磨損也不會變色。
Indigo dye penetrates all the way to the core of the thread. Denim does not dye all the way to the core of the thread. It remains white. Therefore, when denim is worn on the surface, the white of the core of the thread comes out. Indigo dyed thread does not change color even when worn.

什麼是 絣?
What is Kasuri?
完成品の模様がかすれたように見えることから絣と言わ れるます。
由於成品上的圖案看起來褪色了,因此被稱為“絣”。
It is called kasuri because the pattern on the finished product looks faded.
備後絣曾被用作實用物品和工作服。破損後,它會被修補並重複使用很多次。
Bingo Kasuri was used as practical items and work clothes. When it was torn, it was repaired and reused many times.
爸爸戴不上了,就重新給哥哥做,哥哥戴不上了,就重新給弟弟做。
When Dad can no longer wear it, he will have it remade for his older brother, and when the older brother can no longer wear it, he will have it remade for his younger brother.
當它不能再用來做和服時,就會被縫補起來重新利用。這就是被褥。最後,它會被用作嬰兒尿布;當它不能再用作抹佈時,就會被用作洗澡時的引火物。這就是為什麼備後絣布料所剩無幾的原因。
When it can no longer be used for kimonos, it is patched up and reused. This is a futon. Finally, it is used as a baby diaper, and when it can no longer be used as a dust cloth, it is used as kindling for the bath. That is why there are not many Bingo Kasuri fabrics left.
橘高 昌子さんにインタビューしました。
我們訪問了橘兄弟公司第四代社長橘高昌子。
We interviewed Masako Kitsutaka, the fourth-generation president of Tachibana Brothers Company.
Q. Why has the number of manufacturers decreased so much?
A.プリントなどで容易に柄が真似できるようになった、また安価 でその服などは買えるためわざ わざ手間をかけて絣を作る必要 がなくなったから。
A:現在可以透過印刷輕鬆模仿圖案,而且衣服可以廉價購買,所以不再需要費力製作絣了。
A. Patterns can now be easily imitated through printing, and the clothes can be purchased inexpensively, so there is no longer any need to go to the trouble of making kasuri.
Q:為什麼你們只製作垂直絣?
Q. Why do you only make vertical kasuri?
A. 經線和緯線伊卡特很難用機器製作。
A. Warp and weft ikat are difficult to make by machine.
第四代代表橘孝的發言很有意思。
There was something very interesting to say in the speech of the fourth generation representative, Tachibanataka.
有一天,兩位法國設計師來到橘子兄弟株式會社參觀。仔細一看,他們所穿的絣正是橘兄弟株式會社製作的。
One day, two French designers visited Tachibana Brothers Co., Ltd. On closer inspection, the kasuri they were wearing was made by Tachibana Brothers Co., Ltd.
據說,廣島縣府中市中須町製作的備後絣,傳遍了半個地球,來到了歐洲和法國。後來,一位法國人對它產生了興趣,穿上了備後絣,又繞了半個地球,來到了府中市。也就是說,府中市中須町製作的備後絣,已經走遍了全世界。
The story goes that Bingo Kasuri, made in Nakasu-cho, Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture, traveled halfway around the world to Europe and France, and a French person became interested in it, wore Bingo Kasuri, and traveled halfway around the world again to Fuchu City. In other words, Bingo Kasuri, made in Nakasu-cho, Fuchu City, has traveled around the world.
這證明賓果省與世界緊密相連。這就是備後学的視角。
This is proof that Bingo Province is connected to the world. This is the perspective of Bingo academics.
Q.備後絣のどのような所が外国の方に人気なんですか?
Q:備後絣 為何如此受外國人歡迎?
Q.What is it about Bingo Kasuri that makes it so popular with foreigners?
A.備後絣は海外での製造が難しいという所、また日本の藍 色が人気です。
