vol.1 Ryukyu kasuri, Okinaw | 琉球絣 沖縄

観光の合間に市場を散歩。
牧志市場のはじっこにある、反物が積まれてた生地やさんを発見。
雑多なアジアな雰囲気。お店のおばちゃんに反物を広げてもらいながら、話をききました。
In between sightseeing, I took a walk in the market.At the beginning of the Makishi market, I found a fabric shop with piles of fabrics.The atmosphere was chaotic and Asian. The lady at the store opened up the fabrics and talked to us.

「琉球絣（かすり）」という織物。

どの反物も手織りで、10cm単位で切り売りしてくれます！
(琉球絣、6000円／m、首里織、2400円／m）

織元はどこか聞いたら、南風原（はえばる）という30分ぐらいのところ。
軽貨物で行ってみてくるといいと。*軽貨物、個人タクシーみたいのかな？

This fabric is called “Ryukyu Kasuri.  All fabrics are hand-woven, and they are cut and sold in 10cm increments! (Ryukyu Kasuri, 6,000 yen/m, Shuri-ori, 2,400 yen/m)

When I asked where the weaving factory is, I was told it is in Haebaru, about 30 minutes away. I asked him where the weaving factory was located, and he said I should go there by light cargo and check it out. *I asked him where the weaving factory was located, and he said that I could go there in about 30 minutes. I heard that some women in Haebaru make the weavings at home and sell them at this store. The woman also commutes from this town to the market.
