Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have been studied about Okinawan dyeing and weaving, making BINGATA,yarns by hand, cloth dyed with plants, hand woven textile and basketry by making by myself. And now I am very interested in knitting culture in Okinawa.
I reported my thesis as four series of "Using Okinawan Areal Characeteristics of Developing Teaching Material on Clothing Life", Bulletin of Faculty of Education, University of the Ryukyus, No.99, No.98, No.101 and No.103, and I published the book "Okinawan dyeing and weaving for your joyful challenge: Making BINGATA, yarns by hand, cloth dyed with plants, hand woven textile and basketry" from Toyo Kikaku Insatsu Corporation,in February 2024.
And I hope to continue my research about Okinawan knitting culture by making baskets by myself.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究成果は、これまで沖縄の染め織り研究でなされてこなかった紅型、糸づくり、染め、織り、編みなどの工芸の技法を横断的に記録し、一般の人びとにわかりやすく実践しやすい解説本『沖縄の染め織り実践講座―たのしくチャレンジ！紅型・糸づくり・植物染め・織りと編み―』（株式会社東洋企画印刷、2024年２月刊）を刊行したことである。沖縄では一人の工芸士は、紅型や芭蕉布、花織などのうち一つの工芸にのみ従事してきた。本書籍のように、一般の人びとが横断的に多様な技法を楽しめる本はかつてなく、沖縄およびひろく日本全国の人びとに沖縄文化の一端を紹介し、つくる楽しさを伝える書籍を刊行したことは、大変意義深いと考える。
