日本の伝統工芸飴細工紹介動画について
日本が誇る伝統工芸の一つである飴細工について、『日本糖果藝術 飴細工 - 金魚,青蛙,貓,狗 東京』の動画を元に紹介をさせていただきます。
飴細工とは?
日本が誇る伝統工芸の飴細工とは何か、まずはその詳細について紹介をさせていただきます。
飴細工は、製菓技術の一つで、起源は平安時代に京都で作られていたお供え物になります。
熱した飴を職人が自在に操って作品を作り出す様はまさに芸術の一言で、今回紹介させていただいている動画を見ても、伝統工芸の素晴らしさがはっきりと分かることでしょう。
動画内で実際に飴細工を制作されている姿をまずはご覧ください。
飴細工は飴と製菓という言葉が表す通り、芸術品でありながら食べることが出来ます。
その精巧な作りは食べる時には勿体無いと思ってしまうほどです。
しかし基本的には食べ物というよりは芸術品や美術品といった側面が強く、動画内でも猫や犬、金魚や青蛙等を題材としており、思わず飾っておきたくなるような素晴らしいものばかりです。
和と洋で違う飴細工
日本の伝統工芸としても名高い飴細工ですが、実は和菓子だけでなく、洋菓子としてもその技術が用いられています。
和菓子としての飴細工は、最小限の道具で生き物をモチーフとした一品で完成する作品が多いのに対し、洋菓子の飴細工は、バラや花等の植物を主として、一品一品を組み合わせた大規模な作品として主に制作されています。
伝統工芸としての歴史はどちらも古く、その美しさから、日本人外国人問わず、多くの人の間でお土産やプレゼントとして人気です。
日本が誇る伝統工芸飴細工の紹介まとめ
視覚でも味覚でも楽しませてくれる伝統工芸の飴細工、今回はその素晴らしさについて動画を交えてご紹介させていただきましたが、いかがだったでしょうか?
今回紹介をさせていただいた飴細工職人の方々は、通販での販売、体験教室を開くなど、積極的に伝統工芸を後世へと伝え、残していく活動をされています。
特にその活動を積極的に行われているのが「飴細工よし原」であり、職人の人が実際に目の前で作る姿を見ることもできます。
飴細工体験教室などのイベントも開催されるので、動画を見て気になった方はぜひ「よし原」へと足を運んでみることをおすすめします。
伝統工芸を実際に触れることで、伝統工芸という日本文化に対しての理解が一層深まることでしょう。
日本の伝統工芸の一つである飴細工について興味を持っていただけたら幸いです。
