Craft Portrait - Dorozome is an art book about traditional Japanese mud-dyeing technique Dorozome. It gathers eleven interviews of contemporary Dorozome artisans accompanied with series of photographs of the craft’s process and environment.

The interviews put the mentality of the artisans into light with themes such as the long way to becoming an artisan, the spirit of craftsmanship and the relationship between material creation with its natural and geographical environment.

 

About Craft Portrait

Craft Portrait is a project initiated by design duo Satomi Minoshima & Pauline Agustoni in 2019. Its aim is to tackle contemporary craftsmanship with a fresh eye. By coming in contact with the artisans who perform a craft everyday, the designers want to open a discussion about material production, respect of resources and alternative ways of producing.

The first edition of Craft Portrait was developed during the designers’ field trip to Japanese island Amami Oshima. Taught by the artisans of the workshop Kanai Kougei, they explored Dorozome, a traditional and meticulous mud-dyeing technique. They developed a textile installation for Belgian museum Z33 and collected testimonies from the artisans which were later on gathered in an art book. The book contains eleven interviews accompanied with photographs of the workshop and the island.
