Description
| SDB, SDY, and all the products with B or Y are made of "No.2 skin" of wild grapes. The bags made of No. 2 skin are the most widely distributed and reasonably priced bags. The skins are taken from the vine of wild grapes and made by skilled craftsmen one by one with great care. The skin of the grapevine absorbs oil, so if the bag is stroked by hand every day, it will absorb the oil and slowly turn into an amber color. The skin of the grapevine absorbs oil, so if the bag is stroked by hand every day, it will slowly change to a candy color and become more shiny. This is called "growing" the bag, and the same bag can have different tints depending on how well it is grown. This is called "raising" the bag, and the same bag can have a unique coloring depending on how it is raised. [The process of making a bag of wild grapes] Gathering the vines It is a plant that has been growing naturally in cold regions deep in the mountains at altitudes of 1,000m or more, far from human habitation. The vines can grow to more than 10 cm in thickness. The vines are stripped, dried, and sized to make baskets. Weaving Weaving is done from the bottom of the bag according to the wooden pattern made by the craftsman. To achieve a uniform mesh, the weaver must have strong fingertip strength to finish the work neatly. Finally, the fine edges are removed and the basket is finished. Technique It takes a skilled craftsman many days to weave a 5mm wide hexagonal flower basket, so mass production is not possible. Therefore, they cannot be mass-produced and are very rare. Therefore, the number of these baskets on the market is limited. Attaching the inner fabric Almost all bags are dyed with persimmon tannin. The raw material is a persimmon tannin solution ordered from a long-established store in Kyoto. Why Kakishibu dyeing? Kakishibu itself has anti-moth* and anti-fungus effects. Although mold does not grow inside the fibers of the wild grape vine like it does in bamboo, it may adhere to the surface if stored in a humid place. However, if it is stored in a humid place, mold may adhere to its surface. To prevent this, we attach a persimmon tannin-dyed inner cloth to almost all of our bags, although it is more expensive. For those who are new to wild grapes If you are a first time owner of the coveted yamabudo bag, the standard "Ajiro-knit" is popular as an introductory version. For those who purchase the second or third bag, "Hexagonal flower weave" and "Sawahada" are very popular. |

山葡萄の皮は油分を吸収する特徴がある為、バッグを毎日、手で撫でてあげると油を吸収し
ゆっくりとアメ色に変化し、光沢が増していきます。
これを育てていくと言いますが、同じバッグでも育て具合で色合いに差が出てくることで
世界で一つしかないバッグを持つことができます。
＜山葡萄バッグができるまで＞
蔓の採取
人里離れた標高1,000m以上の山奥で昔から寒冷地に自生する植物です。
蔓と言っても太いもので10cm以上にもなります。
蔓を剥ぎ取り乾燥させて、籠の材料となるようサイズを整えていきます。
編む
職人が作った木型に合わせて、バッグの底から編んでいきます。
網目が均一にするには指先の力が強くないと綺麗に仕上げることができません。
最後に細かいケバを取り除き籠ができあがります。
技術
5ミリ幅の六角花編みなどは熟練の職人が何日もかけて作り上げていくので大量生産ができず
稀少性が高いです。その為、市場に出回っている数も限られています。
内布を取り付ける
ほぼ全てのバッグは柿渋染めです。
原料は京都の老舗店から取り寄せた柿渋原液を使用しています。
なぜ、柿渋染めなのか
柿渋自体に防虫・防カビ効果があります。
山葡萄の蔓は竹のように繊維の中までカビが生えることはありませんが、湿気が多いところで保管すると
表面にカビが付着する場合があります。
それを防ぐ為に高価ではありますが、ほぼ全てのバッグに柿渋染めの内布を取り付けています。
山葡萄を初めて持つ方
憧れの山葡萄バッグを初めて持つ方は定番の「網代編み」が入門編として人気があります。
2個目、3個目を購入する方は「六角花編み」や「沢皮」が大変人気です。
