◆バスタルアイアンについて◆
Bastar(バスタル)とは、インド北東部の少数部族が多く住む地域「バスタル地方」のこと。 この地方には住む少数部族は、各部族独自の習慣や生活様式を持ち、 彼らの暮らしの中で用いられてきた技術を生かした工芸品が、「バスタルアート」という名前でインド国内外で知られています。
政府との衝突などによって孤立して生活をする部族がいたり、安定した収入が得ることが難しかったりと多くの問題があり、都市部に比べると彼らの生活は決して楽なものではないと聞きます。 その中で生活の糧となるのが、彼らの作る工芸品であり、 現在インド国内では、昔ながらの製法で作られた「古き良き民芸品」として注目され、「バスタルアート」を紹介する動きが多くあります。
バスタルアイアンは、中央インドに多く住む「ゴンド族」の工芸品ですが、現地ではバスタル地方の代表的工芸品として「バスタルアイアン」の名前で親しまれているため、マライカでもこの名称で販売しています。
◆ゴンド族のつくる鉄工芸品◆(バスタルアイアン)
ゴンド族は、インド中央部に多く住む先住部族で、インドにおける少数部族の中でも比較的大きなグループとなります。 彼らの作る工芸品の中では、真鍮でつくる「ドクラ」が有名ですが、 金属加工の高い技術を持ち、ドクラと同じく鉄の工芸品も多く作っています。
精錬や加工を一つ一つ手作業で行うため、機械加工品にはない自然な風合が特長で、彼らの日常風景や、身近にある自然風景を描いたデザイン性の高いモチーフも魅力の一つです。
