Art from Adversity (dyeing and weaving)

There were songs everywhere. People were singing every time. Songs were always in their work. Songs were precious treasures; when people went to Iriomote Island to cultivate the field to produce rice, when they chopped down trees in a mountain to build houses, when they brought the woods to the island, when they built their houses, whenever they collaborated to work together, whenever they had a break, whenever they were sad, and whenever they were happy.
At first, songs had been sung during the hard labor, and then they have come to be sung in a purpose of enjoying the lives of people.
