当時の店内には唐紙のポストカードが敷き詰められるように並べられていた。その様子はまるで、パレットから絵の具を選ぶような感覚で、 そのパレットを再現したくて一枚500円のポストカードを大量に買って帰った。
唐紙とは、そもそも日本の伝統工芸の一つで、主に襖紙に用いられる。現在でも桂離宮や二条城などの襖には必らず唐長の唐紙で修復されるが、一般的な襖紙の需要は減少の一途を辿っている。
そんな唐紙を現代の生活のインテリアにしたり、アートとして展開していこうとされているのが、千田愛子さんとトトアキヒコさん夫婦である。 お二人の夢は唐紙の美術館をつくること。
写真左のように、最近では唐紙と家具職人のコラボレーションなど、新しい展開が行われている。

Kira Karacho
In the central area of Kyoto, in Shijo Karasuma, there's a big shopping mall called Cocon Karasuma. On the left-hand side of the ground floor, there was a shop called 'Kira Karacho'. It had a lot of traditional Japanese patterns in it that up until now I had thought of as very old fashioned, but somehow in there they seemed very fresh.

Wanting to recreate that colour scheme, I bought lots of postcards for 500 Yen each.
Karakami paper is a traditional Japanese handicraft, which is mostly used for sliding doors and screens. Even today, the sliding doors in Katsurikyuu palace and Nijoji castle are always repaired with Karakami, but for most sliding doors, it seems like the demand for Karakami is going to decrease.
The husband and wife team of Aiko Senda and Akihiko Toto are developing Karakami as an art for contemporary interiors.
