-Description-
Title Ryukyu Bingata The Beauty of Dyeing
Publication year 1980
Publisher Kyotoshoin
This is a deluxe photo collection of unique and traditional dyeing book,entitled Ryukyu Bingata.
Original retail price is approx $170.
The origins of Ryukyu bingata dyeing can be traced back to the middle of the 15th century, when King Shoen was on the thrown. The court gave its unfailing patronage to the craft and according to a 1802 chronicle, Ryukyu bingata dyeing was called a "floral cloth of the east" and was highly regarded at the market in Fuchien, China. Although almost completely wiped out during the Second World War, efforts were made to revive this craft and in 1950, the Bingata Preservation Society and the Okinawa Bingata Preservation Society were formed. This was followed by government recognition in 1984, when bingata was formally designated as a Traditional Craft Product.
Bingata dyeing is the only dyeing craft in Okinawa combining the techniques of stencil dyeing from China and the hand dyeing skills of Kyoto yuzen. Silk, cotton and abaca, which is a banana fiber cloth, are hand dyed using pigments and vegetable dyes. The cloth known simply as bingata is brightly colored where as eshigata is vat dyed with Ryukyu indigo. Each one has an enigmatic appeal peculiar to the South Seas. Decorative cloths as well as material for kimono and obi is being woven by 19 firms employing 97 people, among which there are 10 government recognized Master Craftsmen.
This book has a lot of plates of fabulous Kurenai Bingata.
