淡水曼荼羅 Freshwater Mandara [手拭]
たんすいまんだら
¥1500 2018年
イタセンパラ Itasenpara bitterling Acheilognathus longipinnis
アユモドキ Kissing loach Parabotia curtus
イシガイ Freshwater unionoid mussel Unio douglasiae
マツモ Common hornwort Ceratophyllum demersum
My friend told me, "You should make Tenugui where you can see the design when you wear it around your neck." So I covered the Tenugui with Itasenpara Bitterlings and Kissing Loaches. Those are native species to Japan. If it's just them, it feels a little lonely, so I added Freshwater mussels and Common hornwort. I think the Mandara design works well. I asked people around me which colour is better beige or red. But their opinions were divided, I have to decide to make both!
広島の友人に,それはそれは手厳しく云われた.「なんで首にかけてわかる図案にせんのー?もっと売れるように作らんといかんじゃろ」と.

イタセンパラ・アユモドキ・イシガイ・マツモ手拭完成 [手拭]
フクロウ手拭(注染)第二段 Fleecy fledgling Owl [手拭]
綿梟 (めんふくろう)
Men-Fukurou
¥1500 2015年
Lovely fledgling Ural Owl Strix uralensis was designed to Tenugui. This is the Bird Rescue Society of Japan’s second Tenugui. There's hidden picture.
Usually, “Men (face) -Fukuro (owl)” means Burn Owl Tyto alba in Japanese, but I took in the Japanese by using the Kanji character for “Men (cotton) -Fukuro”. Face and cotton is same pronunciation in Japanese. There is a fledgling Ural Owl in the tree hollow with ennui expression (Actually, she say “I’m hungry...” ?).
May in Japan is the month season for Wisteria and fledgling Ural Owl to leave their nest. I wish Ural Owl all happiness !

Mr. Japanese giant salamander, who passes in Tatsuta river in Nara at the twilight hour. The music of “Sunset road” by Chick Corea & Bela Fleck really matches this design.

The model is resident in Osaka, Takatsuki-city; Ms. Shozaburoh Akutagawa.
She was injured, so she can't return wild life...
Is it the image of the S. ulalensis Japonica than the S. uralensis hondoensis ?
Snow matches the Ural owl very well.
