A type of hand-woven fabric invented and created by the wife of Nabeshima Naosune, the ninth lord of Kashima Domain in Hizen (Saga Prefecture) in the mid-Edo period, together with his retainers. It was called Kashima Nishiki and passed down by the maids of the Nabeshima family palace. It fell into a temporary slump at the end of the Edo period, but was revived by the wife of Okuma Shigenobu, a native of the Nabeshima Domain, and was renamed Saga Nishiki. The tabletop weaving stands are made from cork or magnolia trees that are resistant to warping, and come in three widths: 24cm (narrow), 30cm (medium), and 36cm (large), with a height of about 15cm and two rolling poles attached to the underside of the stand. All of the weft threads are made from real silk, but the warp threads are made from special gold and silver paper. Gold and silver foil is placed on special Japanese paper that is about 60cm long and 24cm wide, and this warp paper is slit vertically in the middle, leaving about 3cm at the top and bottom, to form threads. The slits are spaced at intervals of 50% from 200% (dividing one inch of a carpenter's ruler into 20 strips) to 600%. The thickness of the weft thread changes in sequence: thick thread for 200% to 300% of the warp, medium thread for 350% to 400%, thin thread for 450% to 500%, and very thin thread for 550% to 600%. There are three basic weaving methods: plain weave, twill weave, and patterned weave, but a new technique (Inoue-shiki Imayoori) has been developed in which a pattern is drawn on the warp paper beforehand and then split to create a plain weave, allowing for greater freedom of expression. However, because the materials are expensive and the size of the weaving table is limited, it is mainly used for small items such as bags, billfolds, obi-jime (sash fasteners), and haori-himo (cords). It is also sometimes used as an applique on obi (sashes) and folding screens. In 1994 (Heisei 6), Koga Fumi was recognized as a holder of an Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure).

The warp threads are picked up with a bamboo spatula according to the pattern on the stencil, and the colored silk threads are threaded through the agura (thread spool) to weave. ©Shogakukan "> Saga Nishiki tabletop woven stand Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
江戸中期、肥前(佐賀県)鹿島(かしま)藩主9代鍋島直(なべしまなおすね)夫人が、家臣とともに考案創始した手織物の一種。鹿島錦と称され、鍋島家御殿女中の手によって伝承された。幕末期に一時沈滞したが、鍋島藩出身の大隈重信(おおくましげのぶ)夫人によって再興され、佐賀錦と改称されたのである。 卓上織台は狂いにくい栓(せん)の木(ハリギリ)やホオノキの類を用いてつくられ、長さは約45センチメートル、幅は24センチメートル(小幅)、30センチメートル(中幅)、36センチメートル(大幅)の3種、高さは約15センチメートル、台裏には巻棒を2本取り付ける。緯(よこ)糸はすべて本絹糸を使うが、経(たて)糸としては特殊な金銀紙を用いる。長さ約60センチメートル、幅約24センチメートルの特殊な和紙に金銀箔(はく)を置いたもので、この経紙を上下各3センチメートルほど残して中を縦に細かく切れ目を入れて糸状にする。切れ目を入れる間隔は、20割(曲尺(かねじゃく)1寸を20条に分ける)から60割まで、5割ごとに段階がある。緯糸の太さは、20割から30割の経に対しては太糸、35割から40割には中糸、45割から50割には細糸、55割から60割には極細と、順次かえることとする。織り方は平織、綾(あや)織、模様織の3種が基本だが、経紙にあらかじめ模様を描いてから割って平織にするという新技法(井上式今様織)が開発され、より自由な表現が可能になった。ただ、材料が高価で織台の大きさにも制約があるため、用途としてはバッグ、札入れ、帯締、羽織紐(ひも)などの小物が中心。帯や衝立(ついたて)などにアップリケ的に用いられることもある。1994年(平成6)古賀フミが国の重要無形文化財保持者(人間国宝)に認定された。 [秋山光男] バッグと札入れ©一般社団法人佐賀県観光連盟"> 佐賀錦 特殊な和紙に金銀箔を置いた経紙を糸状に切って経糸とし、卓上織台にセットする。型紙の模様にあわせ竹べらで経糸を拾い、緯の色絹糸をあぐら(糸巻)で通して織る©Shogakukan"> 佐賀錦の卓上織台 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
