"Torukumeeeeen" ~To the tune of Beethoven's "Fate"~

My name is Yoshikawa and I've recently become addicted to "Yowamushi Pedal."

I love anime and cycling, so I wonder why I hadn't seen it before.

It takes a long time to watch an anime from the first episode, so for me it takes time and determination. So I think I'll be spending the end of the year immersed in Yowamushi Pedal on the sofa with a hot coffee.

(It's easy to imagine that you can't stop eating sweets...)

The rug I'd like to introduce this time is this one! As the title suggests, it's a Turkmen rug (lol)

While most tribal rugs are red, this one is orange-based! As you can see, it's incredibly detailed! I compared the fineness of each knot on the back, and it's immediately obvious when compared to a Gabbeh. (◎_◎;)

This Turkmen rug, characterized by its fine weave, has a fascinating story waiting for it, so we would like to invite you into the world of rugs once again.

The pattern on the front third of the rug is different from the pattern on the back two-thirds. At first glance, the front looks like a stage and the back looks like an audience seating area.

Standing proudly at the back center of the stage is an eccentric opera singer wearing a large wig and green sunglasses. We can be sure that the beauty of this rug has him singing "To-ru-ku-meeeee-n!" instead of Beethoven's "Ja-ja-ja-ja!"

As you may have already noticed, the singing voice coming from this body is so loud that it feels like 100,000 volts of electricity is running through my body!! Thankfully there was no one around, I nearly got burned ⚡lol

Surrounding the opera singer is a tiny orchestra. Can you see how tiny it is compared to the singer? Or perhaps the singer is too big for them. The division of roles between white, green, and brown is perfect!

There are also choruses on both sides of the orchestra. I would love to hear an opera singer with a voice that surpasses the vocal range of such a large orchestra and chorus.

The audience seats feature black and white round tables, the kind you often see on end-of-year music shows. I wonder if opera singers pass by the seats? The aisles between the tables are also beautifully decorated with tiles.

This spectacular live performance is hugely popular! It's perfect for Christmas and the end of the year. Look, the audience is flocking outside to hear the sound! Everyone is raising their hands in support of the band.

Edge enthusiasts can't help but look at the edges of rugs.
This time too, it turned out very nicely.

Please pay attention to the lines where small squares come together to form a diamond-like shape with color. It is a wonder what kind of color sense went into weaving this color scheme.

Even the thinnest lines are woven in fine alternating black and white. The more you look at it, the more enchanted you become.

The rug has a detailed and gorgeous pattern, so it might be nice to look at it while listening to some classical music.

It's getting colder and colder, but I hope you enjoy the New Year's holiday season!
