Tagore said that big aspirations bring inspiration.
I used different twists and types of tussar silk and had them woven into the weft like jamdani.
The realization is that this is no longer "Jamdani".
At Nagoya A-san,
It begins.

The weavers of Bengal have been weaving cloth and saris with exquisite precision.
All around them, machines imported from Gujarat are churning out similar patterns in polyester blends with ease, and they are finding easy acceptance in the market.
Many people don't realise this and believe Jamdani has simply become cheaper.
Amid these changes that are happening right now, what is needed to answer the question of which way we want to go is not rationality but will and intelligence.
The words we chose together three years ago are finally starting to become a reality.
I hope they will continue to weave many more interesting fabrics.

Inspiration follows aspiration.
Inspiration is essential for any creative work. Inspiration brings new stimulation.
(From Tagore's poem)
As we get closer to this Bengali village, the sound of looms gets louder. We will introduce hand-woven fabrics that combine the inspiration of weavers and CALICO.
