The difference between Nishijin weaving and tapestry
The difference between Nishijin weaving and tapestry. Nishijin weaving is a traditional handicraft with a national treasure level in Japan. It enjoys a high reputation in the fabric industry and is characterized by its multi-variety and small-volume production method. It is so named because it is produced in the Nishijin area of Kyoto, Japan.
One of the characteristics of Nishijin-ori is the jacquard fabric that is first dyed (a fabric that uses dyed threads to create a pattern). Therefore, more than 20 processes are required to complete the weaving. Most of these processes are completed by professional craftsmen and can be divided into six parts: planning and drawing, raw material preparation, mechanical preparation, weaving, and finishing. Each process requires superb skills and rich knowledge. Relevant laws for the promotion of the traditional handicraft industry stipulate that there are 12 types of Nishijin weaving, including embroidery, warp brocade, weft brocade, satin, Zhuzhen, Shaoba, futong, Sui weaving, Honkin weaving, velvet, Kaori weaving, Tsumugi, there are subtle differences in the production processes of various types. Nishijin weaving was designated as a traditional craft in Showa 51 (1976). Now, as the automation of the textile industry deepens, Nishijin Ori has entered more colorful fields such as belt materials, fashion materials, kimono materials, ties, scarves and other apparel and interior decoration.
Kesi is also called “Kesi”, “Kesi”, or “Kesi”. It is a kind of plain weave fabric.
The weaving method is changed on the basis of plain weaving: strong cotton or linen is used as the warp thread, wool or silk thread is used as the weft thread, and various patterns are woven on the machine (modern called Kesi machine).
The earliest discovery of tapestry was in the 3rd-4th century BC. Among the cultural relics unearthed on the northeastern coast of the Black Sea, there is a “kesi” weave fabric with duck, flower and grass patterns woven from sheepskin and wool.
In ancient fabrics from various places, there are records of the “Kesi” weaving method. Among them, China’s “Kesi” is the most famous.
At present, domestic Kesi is divided into two schools: Nantong and Suzhou.
Suzhou Kesi is called “Ming Kesi” and Japan is called “Ming Ke”. It is a product of Kesi during the Ming Dynasty. Ming Kesi is soft, with a plain surface and no obvious ” Corrugated floor” groove. Due to various historical reasons, in modern times, only the technique of Mingkesi silk has remained in our country. Mingkesi is more common now, so I won’t go into details here.
The Kesi skills in Nantong and Suzhou are different. The Kesi technology in Nantong is called Song Kesi, also called “Hon Kesi”. It is called “Honsu” in Japan. Historically, it belongs to Kesi. An early silk product, its biggest feature is that the fabric is crisp and the surface shows “corrugated” grooves. Although the surface of “Song Kesi” is rough, it is still delicate and exquisite. It gives people a visual impact, but it is also full of delicacy and thought-provoking. There are only a few people in the country who belong to Song Kesi’s school. What is introduced here is the production process of Japanese tapestry.
