What is Trumami-zaiku?
Tsumami zaiku is a traditional Japanese craft where small, square pieces of fabric are pinched and folded using tweezers/fingers to create intricate designs, most commonly resembling flowers, and is often used to make hair accessories like kanzashi. The term translates to "pinching handiwork" as "tsumami" means "to pinch" and "zaiku(saiku)" means "detailed work".
• Origin: Developed during the Edo period in Japan.
• Technique: Fabric squares are folded and glued together to create different shapes, often using tweezers or fingers.
• Common materials: Chirimen, a type of Japanese silk crepe, is used traditionally. Nowadays, any type of fabric is used.
• Applications: Primarily used for hair accessories like kanzashi, but can also be used for jewellery, decorations, and other items.
