Description
| *Kadi cotton called "The Fabric of Freedom Kadi cotton, also known as "The Fabric of Freedom," is a hand-spun and hand-woven fabric from India. It is one of the daily necessities loved by the people of India, and is said to be a symbol of freedom, filled with Mahatma Gandhi's ideas of independence, self-reliance, and freedom. Kadi cotton is unique for its uneven weave and uneven texture. The handmade fabric is made from the yarn and weaving process, so you can feel the warm texture that only handspun cotton can give. The cloth is carefully spun, one weave at a time, using a spinning wheel called a charka, and it takes a long time before it is finished, creating a warm and unique texture. *Transmission of Indian Handicraft Culture Compared to cotton from other regions, Indian cotton has thicker and stronger fibers. Rich in elasticity and durability, it has been widely used as a raw material for a variety of products. From ancient times to modern times, India was the world's largest producer of cotton fabrics, and exported cotton to the West through trade. However, the Industrial Revolution and British colonial rule in India, which began in the mid-18th century, changed this situation drastically, and the Indian cotton textile industry began to decline due to this rule. And it was [Mahatma*Gandhi] who took a stand against it. In order to preserve their handicraft culture, they hand-spun cotton and spread hand-woven cloth. It is said that his actions gave people jobs and contributed to India's independence. *A versatile cloth called gamcha Its simple coloring is perfect for a rustic and natural atmosphere. It is designed to be used as a clothcloth* or as a blindfold cloth to hide a small area. A cloth full of life in India, this all-purpose cloth called gamcha is similar to a tenugui (hand towel) in Japan. This simple cotton cloth can be used for a variety of purposes. Locally, it is used for altars, wrapped around the head, or used as a hand towel. It can be used for anything, depending on its color and size. |

カディコットンとは、別名“The Fabric of Freedom”と呼ばれるインドの手紡ぎ、手織りの生地のことです。
インド独立の父と言われインドの人々に現在でも愛され親しまれている、マハトマ・ガンディーの独立・自立・自由の思想が詰まった、まさに自由の象徴の布と言われインドの国民から愛されている日用品のひとつです。
織りムラや不均一な風合いが独特のカディコットン。
糸を作りその糸を織るところから手作りなので、手紡ぎならではの温かい風合いを感じることができます。
チャルカと呼ばれる糸車を使い、ひと織ひと織り丁寧に紡がれた布は仕上がるまでに気が遠くなるような長い時間をかけながら、温かみのある独特な風合いを作り出していくのです。
■インドの手仕事文化の継承
ほかの地域の綿に比べて、インド綿は繊維がしっかり太く、コシが強いのが特徴です。
弾力性や耐久性に富み、様々な商品の原料として幅広く使用されてきました。
そんなインド綿（木綿）はインドにとって、文化的にも民族的にも国家的にも最も大事な産品のひとつで、古代から近世にかけて、世界最大の綿織物の生産地であったインドは、綿花を栽培し、木綿を紡ぎ、機織りした織物を交易によって西洋に輸出していきました。
しかしながら、その状況を一変させたのが18世紀半ばから始まった産業革命とイギリスのインド植民地支配で、その支配により、インドの綿織物産業の衰退が始まっていきます。そして、それに立ち向かったのが【マハトマ・ガンディー】です。自分たちの手仕事文化を守るために、綿を手紡ぎし、手織りの布を広めていきました。その行動によって、人々は仕事が与えられ、インドの独立に貢献したと言われています。
■ガムチャと呼ばれる万能布
