「唐花（からはな）」銀の額
京都・西陣の織匠、平居幹央氏が手がけた西陣織を、額装作品として仕立てました。
金糸を基調とした織地に、青や緑、朱、紫などの色糸で唐花文様を織り込んでいます。唐花は、特定の花を写実的に表したものではなく、さまざまな植物の姿を組み合わせて意匠化した伝統的な文様です。古くから織物や染物、陶磁器など幅広い工芸品に用いられてきました。
華やかな金糸の中に色とりどりの唐花が浮かび上がり、深い青の背景と落ち着いた銀灰色の額が、その華やかさを引き締めています。
Karahana Nishijin-ori Framed Artwork with Silver Frame
This Nishijin-ori textile was created by Mikio Hirai, a Nishijin weaver based in Kyoto, and presented as a framed artwork.
The textile features a gold thread base woven with a Karahana motif in shades of blue, green, vermilion, and purple. Karahana is a traditional decorative motif that does not depict any specific flower realistically, but instead combines and stylizes various botanical forms. It has long been used in a wide range of traditional crafts, including textiles, dyed fabrics, and ceramics.
The colorful Karahana motifs stand out against the lustrous gold threads, while the deep blue background and understated silver-gray frame provide a refined contrast and bring balance to the overall composition.
