    THREADS OF LIFE

    KOBAYASHI SHUMEI

    For towing, pulling and support, 綱 'tsuna' is good; for binding and tying 縄 'nawa' is good. For use in weaving, we have ‘ito’ and ‘himo’. ‘Nawa’ and ‘rope’ signify something fairly thick.

    けん引や支持などを目的とするものを綱といい、縛るためのものを縄という。繊維を縒り合わせて太くして実用するものに糸・紐があるが縄やロープはより太いものをさす.

    In the past, the plant 'tsuru' and long thin grasses of various kinds were used, also 'wara' and raw silk thread. In the 18th century, metal was intertwined to create 'wire rope'; in more modern times, Chinese palm, hemp, cotton were used. Then in the 20th century nylon and other chemical and carbon fibres came into practice.

    古来から蔓(つる)植物や細長い草類をそのまま用いたり、藁(わら)や生糸を用いたりもしたが近世では麻やシュロ繊維や木綿が用いられるようになり. 18世紀には金属を縒り合わせたワイヤーロープ. 20世紀にはナイロンを始めとする科学繊維・炭素繊維も実用化されてきた。

    Through use, rope changes state and outward expression...just as we sentient beings go through the trials and experiences of life; some of us are hurt, whilst others, licking their wounds, march on, persevering in step with their destiny... I was projecting these thoughts on to rope's expressions as I worked on these pieces.

    実用される中でその状況によってロープの在りようや表情が全て異なる・・・これは我々生きとして在る者全てに共通、様々な試練や体験を続けながら在る者は傷つきまた在る者は損傷をかばいながら、尚、胸を張り自分の使命を貫こうと生きる・・・ロープの表情にそんな思いを重ねながら制作したものである。
