India Part 3
Yasuhide Ono
My days in Jaipur are busier than my days in Japan.
There is a lot to do within the limited time you have available.
The main part of the project begins with searching for stones to use in accessories at a stone shop.
We then have the stone processed into a shape that matches that image.
From then on, every time he comes he goes to the metalwork studio to explore new works.
The craftsmen here start working from the age of graduating from elementary school in order to make a living.
They deal with poor facilities with technology and ingenuity. That is why they are so stoic in many ways.
Learn all the techniques you can from these craftsmen.
In addition to the engraving studio, we also visited fabric stores and various other studios.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I decided to make some clothes and bags for the store using my favorite materials.
Every time I come to India I am shown around my favorite Khadi cotton and linen, so this time I used them to create four items in total, including my favorite Kurta shirts, a shirt often worn by Indians, and pajama pants; and two tote bags, a simple 2-way shoulder bag made mainly from slightly thick beige cow suede with an off-white canvas lining, and another made from the same cow suede and off-white Guduri, a vintage Indian fabric.
It is not yet clear how much it will ultimately increase, but India has a deep production base that allows it to produce this kind of spontaneous manufacturing.
I'm looking forward to the finished product
This is a truly Indian piece.
