| 1. "Balls and Weights"
Oyasama was very deft. She used to separate cotton fiber from its seeds by pulling it apart with Her hands wrapped in cloth, and She did it very quickly. She also had a very good hand for spinning yarn out of the cotton that She had thus cleaned, and for weaving cloth from it. The yarn was taken to a dyer, and fabrics were woven in patterns by Her. Her favorite patterns were elaborate ones, such designs as "balls and weights" and "cats and oval gold coins." |
一 玉に分銅 教祖は、綿木の実から綿を集める時は、手に布を巻いてチュッチュッとお引きになったが、大層早かった。又、その綿から糸を紡ぎ機を織るのが、とてもお上手であった。 糸を括って紺屋へ持って行き、染めてから織ると模様が出るのであるが、中でも最も得意とされたのは、玉に分銅、猫に小判などという手の込んだ模様ものであった、という。 |
