Hand-painted Yuzen originated in the 8th century. Miyazaki Yuzensai, the famous fan-painter, adapted his painting style to his dyeing design in the latter half of 17 century. It is said that it is his design that is the origin of hand-painted Yuzen. A man called Hirose Jisuke developed the Utsushi-Zome technique of Stenciled Yuzen in the first half of the Meiji period. Hand-painted Yuzen and Stenciled Yuzen are generically refered to as Kyo-Yuzen in the present day. The method of dyeing with a repaeted small and elegant design is generically refered to as Kyo-Komon. This originated in the Samurai's Kamishimo (formal dress) in the middle of the 16th century.
