What your hands can convey
2011年 12月 15日
Mr Magami visited me in my office, because we had a mountain of things to talk about. He offered his visiting present, which was a paper box of dried plums. The white box was not special, maybe from some shop cakes. He used the box and put around a green ribon which also seemed to be from some shop cake. I unribboned and opened the box, to find a bed of naturally dried plums wrapped in a bamboo dried sheath. Bamboo sheath used to be a great wrapper in Japan for the protection from rottening. The dried plums looked warmly beautiful and I as well as the two men who were together with me in the office, found crying in surprise. Touching it was!
Mr & Mrs Magami have been producing natural dye embroidery product based on the traditional Bangladeshi handwork. They also lead the local people to cultivate and produce organic cotton in their field. Soy beans activate the soil and cotton grows rich after the soy beans. The beans can be used to nurish the people, providing good vegetable protine.
I respect their work and how they think and live every minute. In Sakura Mohila's sales exhibition beginning from December 19, in Omiya, you can see the artistic hand work from them. Those who are interested, please mail or access to the page of "展示販売会’
