襤褸(らんる)の炬燵、ゆたん / 杉原信幸×中村綾花
古着物、幟旗、帯、糸、木、馬毛、膠、鈴 / H2.7m × W3.7m×D4m / 高松AIR2020 / 紺屋町コトマスはなれ / 香川 / 2021年
古着物、端切れや帯、こんぴら歌舞伎の幟旗などを高松の方に頂き、冬の高松市兵庫町商店街の空き店舗で、訪れる人と一緒にそれを縫い合わせて、大きな襤褸（らんる）の炬燵（こたつ）布団を作りました。こたつに入って温もり、香川県で無病息災を祈って食べられるおみかん焼きを頬張りながら、こたつ布団を縫い、世間話や土地の歴史を語り合う交流スペースを作りました。そして獅子舞や民俗のリサーチを行い、仏生山の榺（ちきり）神社で頂いた木を彫って獅子頭を制作し、滞在の最後に、襤褸のこたつ布団が獅子舞の布（ゆたん）になって動き出すこたつ仕舞の儀式を行いました。榺は織機で、縦糸を巻く木製のくびれた棒状の部品です。こたつを囲んで、お茶を飲み、手仕事を行いながら語り合う場には、常連さんが集い、小学生から高校生、若い娘さんから奥様や酔っ払いのおじさんまで、様々な人の縫い跡が合わさることで生まれた美しいゆたんを儀式の間際まで、みんなで縫いあげ、地元の方に鉦や太鼓で参加してもらい、無病息災と疫病退散のこたつ獅子を舞いました。
The Kotatsu of Boro – The Lion Dance Cloth / Sugihara Nobuyuki x Ayaka Nakamura
Old Kimono, flag, band, thread, wood, horsehair, glue, bell / H2.7m x W3.7m x D4m / Takamatsu Artist in Residence 2020 / Konyamachi KOTO MATH Annex / Kagawa / 2021
We received old kimonos, rags, belts, and Kabuki flags from the citizens of Takamatsu, and sew these pieces together with visitors in a vacant store in the Hyogomachi shopping mall in Takamatsu City in winter; we sew them into a large kotatsu heating table cloth with the tattered technique (Boro), and get warmth in the kotatsu, while eating the roasted oranges: In Kagawa Prefecture, people pray for good health by eating roasted oranges. By sewing the kotatsu cloth, we created a communication space to talk about land and history together. And we researched about lion dance and folklore. In the process, we got the wood at the Chikiri Shrine and carved into a lion dance head. And on the loom, there is a component also called Chikiri, which is a wooden rod with a central contraction. The warp threads are wound on the Chikiri to weave. And at the end of our stay, we performed a kotatsu closing ritual in which the kotatsu cloth was transformed into a lion dance cloth and moved. These regulars were gathered and sitting around the kotatsu table, drinking tea, chatting while hand-sewing and stitched fabrics. Among them were elementary school students, middle school students, young women and wives, as well as drunken male elders. Combining the sewing stitches of various people, we made a beautiful lion dance cloth until just before the ritual. We invited local people to play with a gong and a drum, and danced a kotatsu lion dance, praying for good health and the plague subsided.
