IKAT 기법으로 표현 된 기모노의 조형적 특성

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study and compare the creative characteristic of Kimono which utilizees IKAT techniques integrating traditional dyeing and weaving techniques. The study is conducted through research on previous studies, written materials, and information collected from the internet. The results of the research are 1) the history, type and value of creativity in the Kasuri technique has been confirmed once more in traditional Japanese dresses, 2) the outstanding creative value of ethnic clothing have been confirmed through Kimono which utilize the harmony between the dyeing and weaving technique to depict linear and grid patterns, 3) a various array of motifs ranging from animals, plants and geometric design could be created using the warp, weft and integrated techniques in forming the Kasuri pattern, and 4) as the places of origin of the Japanese Kasuri are transmitted towards the Kurume region from Okinawa, it is conjectured that these had strong connections with Korea. Relations with Korea is considered to be highly probable since everyday practical items are still produced in many places, especially the original sites of Kurume.
