Tatsuo Ogawauchi, master of indigo hand weaving and small stature

Speaking of Mr. Ogawauchi, he is a finely crafted and beautiful small weaver.
Unlike his style, he is always bright, modest, gentle, charming,
But when it comes to Kasuri, he is characterized by a masculine tone of voice.
About 10 years ago, when we were talking about Kasuri,
"Is it possible for Mr. Ogawauchi to make the checkered pattern of the wall piled up from the checkered pattern of the old castle cloth with Mr. Ogawauchi?"
The checkered pattern that started with that is quite limited in production, but it is still a standard pattern that everyone loves. When I just visited, the indigo and bleached threads were being dried.
After all, the checkered pattern that everyone loves is beautiful even before it is woven.

After that, no matter what you say, it's cool when you're dyeing!
Moves that you wouldn't think are in your 70s, but are you in your 30s? I can say that.

"Aren't you getting better and better?"
When I said that, the wife said, "Yeah, I'm surprised too."
Then Mr. Ogawauchi said, "I can't lose to the young guys."
Such a lively conversation makes a good kasuri.
Also, Mr. Ogawauchi who smokes is also squid! Kasuri and Tobacco.
They don't look alike, but they're two things that Ogawauchi-san doesn't want to lose.
