Lecture: Japanese Textiles

Description

Lecture: Japanese Textiles - Practicality, Beauty, and Secrets What can a piece of fabric tell? In Japan, textiles are much more than just material. Behind their beauty lie centuries of traditions, intricate processes, natural materials, colors, and symbolism. We will look at the entire process step by step – from silk fibers through weaving, dyeing, and embellishing to the creation of a finished kimono. But it won't just be talk and pictures! We will also have a practical demonstration and, above all, the opportunity to see and touch various Japanese fabrics for yourself. Speaker: Klára Poskočilová, costume designer at the Kyo-gen Theatre, program director of the Eigasai Film Festival.
