00:00It's a beautiful nature, isn't it?
00:04We have finally arrived at Hachijojima!
00:07Hachijojima!
00:10About 300 kilometers south of Tokyo, Hachijojima!
00:17Yes, Miriam!
00:21Another dream is to learn how to make a string of kihachijo.
00:27Kihachijo is Hachijojima's unique kimono.
00:30It is said that it requires a great deal of effort to make a string of kihachijo.
00:41Kihachijo has a history of 1,000 years since the Heian period.
00:47Wow!
00:53It is a kimono made from a string dyed from the grass of Hachijojima.
01:00It was awarded to the Tokugawa Shogunate and was only worn in Ooku.
01:07Wow!
01:1147 years ago, it was also awarded to the current King of Japan.
01:18Wow!
01:21The biggest feature of such a kihachijo is...
01:28the string making that takes three months.
01:33Wow!
01:37Kihachijo, which is a string made with a great deal of effort,
01:42is said to be worth 9 million yen.
01:46Wow!
01:49That's amazing!
01:51I can't see the kihachijo even if I go to a tofu shop.
01:54I see.
01:55I can't see the kihachijo even if I go to a tofu shop.
01:58Miriam wants to see the string making of such a kihachijo.
02:03After hearing Miriam's enthusiasm, she accepted the request.
02:14It's a wonderful workshop.
02:18Oh, it's here.
02:25I can hear the sound of weaving.
02:29It's great!
02:34Excuse me.
02:49It's amazing!
02:51I didn't know it was made in such a place.
02:54I can't believe I can see the kihachijo so closely.
02:59She's in the middle of weaving the kihachijo.
03:02I want to see it in person.
03:06I've never seen it before.
03:09Hello.
03:10Hello. Nice to meet you.
03:13Welcome.
03:14Welcome.
03:15Hello, everyone.
03:17Hello.
03:18My name is Miriam.
03:20I'm from Barcelona.
03:24I'm Kumiko.
03:26Nice to meet you, Kumiko.
03:29Welcome.
03:31She's from far away.
03:34Nice to meet you.
03:36This is my son, Yu.
03:38Nice to meet you.
03:40This is my wife, Kiyoko.
03:43Kiyoko.
03:44Nice to meet you.
03:46These are my friends.
03:50I thought you were a great family.
03:53I'm Aoki.
03:58Nice to meet you.
04:01Kihachijo Meiyu Workshop, founded in 107 A.D.
04:09The process from making threads to finishing products on Hachijojima
04:14is carried out consistently.
04:19Yamashita Meiyu, the founder of Mukei Bunkazai,
04:24is led by
04:27Yamashita Fumiko, the 4th generation.
04:33Yu, the son of a thread-making craftsman.
04:38Aoki, a former public servant who moved to Hachijojima 10 years ago
04:44to help make threads.
04:48From dyeing threads to finishing products,
04:52Kihachijo Meiyu's products are made in a year.
04:57I've always dreamed of learning
05:02how to make threads with natural dye.
05:08There are only three colors.
05:10Yellow, black, and red.
05:12That simplicity is the best for me.
05:17I like it when there are no colors.
05:21Kihachijo Meiyu is known for its yellow,
05:26calm red,
05:30and deep black.
05:35By changing the arrangement of these three colors,
05:38she can make various patterns.
05:46However...
05:48The typhoon is approaching.
05:53If the weather is bad, we can't dye.
05:56We can't go to the mountains to get dye.
06:00It depends on the weather.
06:03Hachijojima is often hit by typhoons.
06:07On this day, typhoon No. 17 is approaching.
06:12To dye threads,
06:14we can only do it on a sunny day
06:16because the weather is bad.
06:20If you cross your fingers and pray, it will be sunny.
06:23This is how you do it.
06:25Let's pray.
06:28Will it work?
06:34It didn't work.
06:37Typhoons are difficult.
06:39Fumiko invited her to her house
06:42because she couldn't dye threads in the heavy rain.
06:48Excuse me.
06:50Come in.
06:52Welcome.
06:54How are you, Fumiko?
06:56I'm fine.
06:58Then...
07:00Let's wear a kimono.
07:03Can I see your hair?
07:05Yes.
07:09I'm sorry it's wet in the rain.
07:12Well...
07:14Yes.
07:16She can't wear a kimono on a rainy day
07:19because of the humidity.
07:21But she prepared a kimono
07:23because she didn't want to dye her hair.
07:28Aoki and Fumiko's husband, Homare,
07:31and their daughter, Horiko,
07:33wanted to see her wearing a kimono.
07:42Wow.
07:44It's beautiful.
07:46It's amazing.
07:48What do you think?
07:50It looks good on you.
07:52It looks good on you.
07:54Yes.
07:56The kimono is very comfortable.
08:01It's very soft.
08:04Can you see that?
08:06Yes.
08:08The kimono is made of natural materials.
08:12It took two weeks to make the kimono.
08:16The kimono is very soft.
08:19The kimono fits her body perfectly.
08:23It's beautiful.
08:27I think this kimono looks the best
08:31on a foreigner I've ever met.
08:34Wow.
08:38I don't think I've ever been kissed so boldly.
08:44I want to learn how to make a kimono
08:46that feels comfortable.
08:48First, dyeing.
08:50Dyeing.
08:52It depends on the weather.
08:55You have to be a free spirit like me.
09:00I see.
09:02I see.
09:04It's raining again.
09:06In the afternoon,
09:08Miriyam is waiting for the typhoon
09:10to pass by with the craftsmen.
09:14Sit down.
09:16Stand up.
09:18Sit down.
09:20Try sitting down.
09:22I see.
09:24Sit down.
09:26It's easy, isn't it?
09:28This is very necessary for me.
09:31She's speaking Japanese.
09:34It's a great invention.
09:36I want one of these.
09:38It's easy, isn't it?
09:40It's very comfortable.
09:42Since they came to Hajijojima,
09:47they'll be able to eat
09:50the famous fruit lemon,
09:55which is three times the size of a normal lemon.
09:59It's sweet.
10:01It's sweet.
10:03Can I eat the skin?
10:05Master!
10:07It's delicious, isn't it?
10:09It's a typhoon.
10:11It's a typhoon.
10:13It's a typhoon.
10:15It continues to rain the next day,
10:18so they can't see the thread making.
10:28You're so kind, everyone on the island.
10:33Thank you very much.
10:38It's raining on the fourth day,
10:41so they can't see the thread making.
10:44They're enjoying it.
10:46It's good that they can enjoy the rain.
10:48It's their first time in a hot spring,
10:50but once they're in,
10:52they can't get out.
10:54It feels good.
10:55That's right.
10:56They can't get out.
11:00It's a local custom.
11:04And then...
11:05It's sunny.
11:06That's great.
11:08It's finally the fifth day.
11:10It's finally sunny.
11:12It's expensive, but it's worth 9 million yen.
11:17It's been going on for 1,000 years since the Heian period.
11:20It's time to learn how to make a phantom thread.
11:25Good morning, everyone.
11:27How are you?
11:28I'm fine.
11:29It's sunny today.
11:30That's right.
11:31The weather is great.
11:33The weather is great.
11:36Among the three colors,
11:38the most representative one is yellow.
11:45This is the Kariyasu field,
11:47where the yellow dye is made.
11:50Please come in.
11:51Okay.
11:55This is a special field
11:57where the yellow dye is used
12:00to make the Kobunagusa,
12:03also called Kariyasu.
12:05I see.
12:09This is the Kobunagusa.
12:11It has fine hair, right?
12:14Yes.
12:15And it's itchy.
12:17So you have to endure the itch and harvest it.
12:20Yes.
12:21If you have weak skin, you might get it on you.
12:24It's fluffy.
12:25I see.
12:27If there are weeds or fallen leaves other than the Kobunagusa,
12:31it can cause color blotting,
12:33so you have to check before you buy it.
12:37Okay, Aoki-san.
12:40Here?
12:41Sorry.
12:45Aoki-san is slow and careful.
12:50Yu-san, can you open your arm?
12:52I'm still training.
12:57Not yet.
12:59Not yet.
13:04The Kobunagusa that has been harvested
13:06is dried in the factory for three days.
13:09It's used after removing the excess moisture.
13:12It's not good if it's sunny all day.
13:14You're right.
13:15It has to be sunny all day.
13:18First, the base dye.
13:22Excuse me.
13:23Hello.
13:24Hello.
13:25This is the dye room inside the factory.
13:33This is the dried Kobunagusa that has been harvested.
13:37I see.
13:40The yellow dye is made by boiling the dried Kobunagusa.
13:46The fire is at the bottom of the burner.
13:49Can I take a look?
13:50Yes, be careful.
13:51Okay.
13:53It's deep.
13:56The depth is about 2 meters.
13:58The burner is placed in a hole.
14:03Can you do it?
14:04Turn it around and check the weight.
14:07Okay.
14:09Is it okay?
14:10Be careful.
14:12In order to keep the part that is not used in boiling water,
14:15the Kobunagusa is turned over 10 kg in 30 minutes.
14:20It's very heavy.
14:22It's very heavy.
14:25It takes two and a half hours to boil it.
14:33It's so beautiful.
14:38It's turning yellow.
14:43When the yellow dye is completed,
14:47the Kobunagusa is put on 8 kg of fresh silk.
15:10I'll leave it like this until it's full.
15:13This is the end.
15:15Is it done if you leave it like this?
15:17How long does it take?
15:19Because the dye does not enter evenly,
15:21it becomes uneven.
15:22So, I always make it in multiple layers and make it dark.
15:28If you just leave it on once,
15:30the color does not soak in and it becomes uneven.
15:37About 15 times.
15:40The process now.
15:42If you rub it in, the thread will be damaged,
15:45and you will not be able to make the softness of the Kihachijo,
15:52so you have to repeat the process 15 times.
15:58It takes a long time just to dye the bottom.
16:03When it's done,
16:04the moment when the thread finally turns golden.
16:12It's beautiful.
16:13Yes, it's silk, so it shines.
16:15I've dyed it about 15 times.
16:19This makes it even more beautiful.
16:23After a month of dyeing,
16:26the thread is dyed evenly.
16:34This is it.
16:42What did you make it soak in?
16:46I put something in it.
16:56It's gotten a lot darker.
17:00What does that mean?
17:07It's magic.
17:08It's magic.
17:10It's magic.
17:14Thank you very much.
17:17The thin yellow thread turns golden.
17:21Why?
17:23Why does this change?
17:33It changes at once.
17:36This is called aqueous.
17:38Aluminum is in it,
17:40and this causes a chemical reaction.
17:43It causes a chemical reaction.
17:45Aqueous is a natural dyeing liquid
17:48that is essential for the color of the dyed thread.
17:56It is extracted from the ash
18:00made by burning the leaves of Tsubaki and Sakaki on the island.
18:03This is also natural.
18:06After that, it is dried in the sun
18:09to create an exquisite thread.
18:13It's wonderful.
18:17The reddish color of the thread
18:23is cut out from the tapu tree,
18:26which is a member of the Kusu tree on the island.
18:29It can only be done up to 80 degrees.
18:31The thread is soaked in water for 3 hours each time.
18:35It is dyed 20 times.
18:38The thread is colored twice
18:41to create a deep color.
18:43It's beautiful.
18:48The glossy black color
18:55is cut out from the shiino tree on the island.
18:59The dyeing process is repeated 20 times
19:03to make the thread lighter.
19:09The thin colored thread
19:12is replaced by a traditional method
19:15to create a glossy black color.
19:23It's great.
19:26This is the traditional method
19:29to create a glossy black color.
19:39Miriam from Spain loves kimono.
19:44This is a traditional method
19:47to create a glossy black color
19:50with only three colors
19:53What is this traditional method?
20:01It's great.
20:03This is a mud bath
20:06that is passed down from the Meikobo.
20:09Mud is passed through this
20:11and a black dye is applied.
20:16There is only one place on the island
20:19where mud dyeing is done.
20:21That's right.
20:23The mud is rich in iron,
20:26which is necessary to make it black,
20:29and the particles are extremely fine.
20:32It seems to be dyed well to the corner of the thread.
20:35It's great.
20:37Look at this.
20:44Put the thread in a bucket
20:47so that the mud flows evenly.
20:52It takes a lot of time.
21:02Thanks to everyone's hard work,
21:05I'm grateful to be able to wear a kimono.
21:08Thank you very much.
21:10I'm very happy.
21:12I'm embarrassed.
21:15Mud dyeing is a secret method of the Yamashita family.
21:19Mr. Naoki, a former public servant,
21:22helps pass the thread.
21:25Mr. Naoki, if you open this and pass it so that your hand can enter,
21:28it's perfect.
21:30It's hard, isn't it?
21:35It's perfect.
21:42When the mud dyeing is finished,
21:46the thread is washed in a nearby stream.
21:50It's washed in a stream.
21:55If the thread gets caught in the bottom of the river,
21:58it will be scratched,
22:00so wash it carefully not to lower it too much.
22:07A beautiful black thread with gloss
22:15A beautiful black thread with gloss
22:24The thread is made like this.
22:26It takes two weeks to fold it carefully.
22:33It's a very comfortable kimono.
22:36Thank you very much.
22:43I felt that everyone was working
22:46while respecting nature.
22:53Kihachijo is a symbol of Hachijojima,
22:56and I think it is a symbol of Japanese people
22:59who coexist with nature.
23:03I'm a little moved.
23:06I'm a little moved.
23:15He did his best to do a job that women
23:18don't usually do,
23:20which is to work outside.
23:22He was so powerful that I wanted to ask him
23:25to take over after Mr. Naoki.
23:29Mr. Naoki, you're going to get a position.
23:32I'm happy.
23:37This is for everyone.
23:40Thank you very much.
23:42Thank you very much.
23:45Spain's sweets as a thank-you gift.
23:49Then, Fumiko-san...
23:51This one.
23:55It can't be. How much?
24:01Zaishu.
24:03Zaishu.
24:06Fantastic. I love it.
24:08This is the best.
24:10This is a great invention.
24:13Come again.
24:15Come again.
24:20Everyone at Kihachijo Meiyu Studio,
24:23thank you very much.
