田中先生の娘さん、麻衣子ちゃんより、お盆中の工房・藍甕掃除のお写真が送られて来ました!
藍甕掃除は重労働です。それをいつもはお一人で黙々とこなす師匠ですが、今回は強力助っ人の麻衣子ちゃん登場。作業がどんどん進みます。
「ポンプで色素の無くなった藍を水で洗いながらすくいあげて排水します。甕を洗って中を綺麗に拭きます。」
そして、「ほら!綺麗になりました」とニコニコ顔の麻衣子ちゃんのお写真が、今回1番好きな1枚💙
先生も、嬉しそうです(^^)
Maestro’s daughter, Maiko, has sent me photos of the atelier indigo vat cleaning during the Obon period!
Cleaning the indigo vat is really hard work. The maestro who usually does it alone silently, but this time Maiko, a powerful helper, appears. Work progresses rapidly.
“With a pump, the indigo that has lost its pigment is scooped up and drained while washing with water. Wash the jar and wipe the inside clean.”
And the photo of Maiko with a smile on her face saying "Hey! AIGAME become beautiful" is one of my favorites this time 💙
The maestro seems to be happy too (^^)
