Chimayo woven vests, jackets and rugs that you've probably picked up once if you like Americans.
Speaking of such a long-established webbing shop of Chimayo weaving, TRUJILLO'S, ORTEGA'S, CENTINELLA are famous, and the works woven one by one in Chimayo village, New Mexico, USA are the world. I am fascinated by the people inside.

Origin of Chimayo textiles
It originated from a Spanish pioneer who settled north from Newspain (now Mexico) in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Weaving techniques and knowledge have been passed down from generation to generation in a self-sufficient life in remote areas.
In 1918, a general store with Chimayo weaving products was opened, and after World War II, a Chimayo weaving specialty store was opened, and continues to this day.
It is partly influenced by the indigenous Native American culture, but has a completely different origin.
What is CHIMAYO?
The Chimayo pattern means that unique pattern, and is also called the Ortega pattern. The woolen fabric in which the pattern is woven with traditional fabrics is called Chimayo weave.
Durable woven fabric made from sheep's hair called Churo, which has long hair, was used for vests, jackets, rugs, etc., and has spread to the fashion market.
It was the director of ANATOMICA, one of the main brands of A'r139 Kamakura, who made Chimayo's textiles, which were originally a kind of folk art rather than fashion, popular as fashionable clothes. It is said that the influence of the legendary select shop GLOBE made by Pierre Furnier is great.
It is said that the style of combining select products collected from all over the world with this Chimayo vest, etc., influenced the Japanese fashion market at that time, including the later Emisfer.

What is Chimayo Village?
In New Mexico, USA, there is a village called CHIMAYO, which is a production center of Chimayo weaving.
This is a city of Chimayo weaving and worship, and there are still three major Chimayo weaving makers: ORTEGAS, TRUJILLO'S, and CENTINELA.
And in that village is the EL Santuario de Chimayo, which has a legend of curing the plague and has miraculous sand.
Chimayo Village is located about 38km northeast of the popular tourist destination of Santa Fe, and can be reached within an hour's drive from Santa Fe.
I visited during a world trip two years ago and was fascinated by the unique culture of the small village.

There is a loom that is still in use in the back of the shop, and you can actually visit it.
Inside the store, colorful Chimayo weave works are lined up in a wide variety of sizes. You can shoot inside the store with just one voice.
Next, you will find TRUJILLO'S just a short drive from Ortega. The interior is more compact than Ortega, but vests and accessories are also sold here.
When I visited, the inside of the store was completely empty because a Japanese buyer visited the store the previous week. ..

A loom is installed here as well, and you can buy Indian jewelry in addition to textiles.
Finally, CENTINELA. This is also a short drive from Ortega and Turfilios.
At the time I visited Sentinera, there were many products, and Chimayo woven works were hung on the rack. You can also purchase works that match the times, such as the Chimayo-woven iPad case.

If you're heading from Santa Fe to the village of Chimayo, you'll find the Church of Santowario de Chimayo on the way to the Chimayo maker.
More than 200 years ago, monk Don Bernard Abeta discovered a sand-buried cross on the outskirts of the village of Chiyoma, where a church was built. That church is the church of Santowario de Chimayo.
The church, which was built with Adobe architecture similar to Santa Fe, was a sacred and beautiful place that you can hardly see anywhere else.
There is one room next to the chapel, where it is said that miraculous sand springs. There is a legend that if you apply this sand to a bad place, it will heal, and about 300,000 people visit this church every year. Even if so many people worship, the sand in the small room will not run out, so it is said that it is welling up. And in that small room, crutches and other items that are no longer needed by those who have healed thanks to the sand are on display, demonstrating the credibility of this anecdote.
I was also suffering from stiff shoulders, so I rubbed a lot of sand around my neck. However, I could not experience the effect. I think you can experience the effects only if you have faith in Christianity.

By the way, there is a souvenir shop in front of this church, where a case for bringing back miraculous sand was sold, and I bought it and brought it back to Japan. If you are interested, you can see it at A'r139 Kamakura.
