If you want to get a glimpse of the authentic Japanese culture, the dyeing techniques inherited from ancient times will tell you the answer and take you on a journey beyond time to discover the real Japanese lifestyle.
Background
In Japan, the Jomon period is considered to be the beginning of the dye culture. Dyeing methods at that time were primitive, and it is said that flowers, tree bark, and soil were rubbed directly onto the fabric to dye it.
Thereafter, during the Edo period, people's lives became richer and culture flourished.Dye culture, colors, patterns, and materials are used as symbols of status. In addition, the culture of dyeing goods is more than a status symbol, it permeated the daily lives of the common people, such as the Obi and fan, and was applied to daily wear.
*Dye culture epitomizes Japanese culture and the Japanese lifestyle. Through Dye culture, you can learn about Japan's ever-changing history, culture, and Japanese's ever-changing lifestyles.
