“Falling snow turns into rain and ice melts into water”, which explains about “Usui”, one of the twenty-four seasonal divisions of a year in the old lunar calendar, has passed and there was a day when rain turned into snow and then turned into rain again around this area.
It is a textile that is like a description of rain turned from snow.

I wove a kimono textile called “Sanshiki” for my three-year-old daughter’s Shichigosan*.
With three colours dyed with three kinds of plant, Akane (madder), Shikon (lithospermum root) and Kusagi (harlequin glorybower) , I wove a check-pattern textile using number of threads with multiple of three. It was a textile I stuck to three numbers.
