SELECT】ケニアの伝統的な手工芸でつくられたミニサイザルバッグ〈ゴールド〉|サイザルとはリュウゼツランの一種で、歴史的に広く使われていた繊維である麻にちなんでサイザル麻と呼ばれています。ケニアのキクユ人やカンバ人の伝統技術により サイザルで編んだバスケットは穀物の運搬や保存にケニアでは使われていました。かごを編む技術は母から娘へと受け継がれ、ケニアの小さな農村の女性を中心にひとつひとつ手づくりで編み上げています。現在ではサイザルバッグを編むことがケニアの村の重要な現金収入源となり、各家庭の子どもたちの学費となり生活費の足しとなっています。(引用元:アフリカンスクエアー)
Sisal is a type of agave, named after hemp, a fiber that has been widely used throughout history. Using the traditional techniques of the Kikuyu and Kamba people of Kenya, baskets woven from sisal were used in Kenya to transport and store grain. The skill of weaving baskets has been passed down from mother to daughter, and they are woven one by one by hand, mainly by women in small rural villages in Kenya. Today, weaving sisal bags has become an important source of cash income in Kenyan villages, helping to cover school fees for children and supplement living expenses in each family.

About sisal

Sisal is a type of agave, and its fiber is called sisal hemp after hemp, a fiber that has been widely used throughout history. Native to Central America, the word sisal is said to have originated from the Mexican port city of Sisal. A member of the agave family, which is the source of tequila and mezcal, sisal leaf fiber has been widely used as a material for rope and other products that require durability. Currently, East African countries such as Kenya and Tanzania are among the world's major producers.

The process of making a sisal bag is divided into many small steps. The sisal material is a large leaf that is about as tall as a person. The material is dyed with dye. The finished sisal bags are inspected one by one before being sent off to Japan.
