Using scraps of plant-dyed and indigo-dyed fabric
Let's make a small poshagi.

Created through careful dyeing, from sowing seeds and harvesting wild plants, in the secluded deepest reaches of Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture, in the land of ItoshiroItoshiro Yohintenof fabric.
Let's combine the small, beloved scraps from the creation process and hand-sew a poshagi, a traditional Korean handicraft.
We will bring various dyed fabrics: indigo-dyed, cherry blossom, loquat, chestnut, akaso, himejion... Each fabric expresses the unique beauty of each plant's color.

Poshagi: A Wisdom of Daily Life

Poshagi is a wrapping cloth, like a furoshiki, born from the ancient Korean Peninsula sense of life and spirituality: to wrap important items carefully without exposing them. In former royal courts, ornate poshagi decorated with embroidery and gold leaf were traditionally used, while ordinary people created beautiful chogappo (poshagi made by sewing scraps together) from usable parts and offcuts of worn clothes, reflecting the maker's aesthetic sense in daily life.

Coaster / Placemat

This time we will make everything by hand-sewing, so let's take our time and stitch carefully. Please choose either a coaster or a placemat.
You can choose any size you like.
Making it a bit larger will expand its uses, won't it?
You can also pinch the four corners to use it as a small item case, snack holder, and more.
We will explain the method carefully, so even beginners can join without worry.

Loving Poshagi

The instructor is Maki Matsumoto, who lives in Hyogo.

She is drawn to handmade crafts that embody the wisdom and skills of previous generations, and practices using fabric carefully in daily life.

Fascinated by poshagi's wisdom of using every scrap of fabric without waste and the beauty of turning even offcuts into a single piece of fabric, she has studied under Kim Jeong-mi of the Korean Traditional Culture Research Group since 2020.

She is learning not only hand-sewing techniques, but also the background from which poshagi was developed and the wisdom embedded in this craft. At this workshop, she will share the spirit of 'using fabric carefully without waste', which also connects to the lifestyle clothing in Itoshiro.

 

What We Value in This Workshop

  • Do not waste fabric: The colors of indigo and plants, gifts of nature. Even the smallest scraps gain new life when combined together.
  • Create with your own hands: One stitch at a time, at your own pace. Let's spend time feeling the warmth and attachment unique to handmade crafts, something you can't get from mass-produced items.
  • Connect Tradition: Learn about the bag shape filled with the wisdom of previous generations, and update it into a 'tool just for you' that fits modern life.
Let's sew together colorful fabrics that reflect the beautiful blue of Itoshiro and seasonal plants, like a patchwork, to create a one-of-a-kind poshagi.
