This item was published for memorial to 330th aniversary since Miyazaki Yuzensai was born.
It is said that the yuzen technique of painting dye directly onto cloth was established by Miyazaki Yuzensai, a popular fan painter living in Kyoto toward the end of the 17th century although dyeing techniques had existed since the 8th century.
He introduced his own style of painting as a way of rendering pattern and this led to the birth of this handpainted dyeing technique. A multicolored yuzen was used to apply painterly designs to kimono cloths and grew in stature from the middle of the 18th century as merchant culture flourished. In the Meiji period (1868-1912), utsushi yuzen was developed using stencils to create these distinctive designs.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kyoto yuzen, with its rich variety of motifs drawn from nature has become synonymous with the Japanese kimono. And, despite an extensive use of color, there is still within the noble tenor of the designs a special aesthetic quality that has been nurtured over the thousand years of the history of Kyoto. There are now 253 government recognized Master Craftsmen among the 13,695 employed by the 2,280 firms sustaining this elegant craft.
The preface says;
'We have collected all Yuzen kimomo as much as we can to publish this Yuzen collection to preserve Yuzen to next generation'
And also the curator of Kyoto National Museum says;
'The beauty of Yuzen is from the grat techniques. And the heirs of Yuzen have preserved this beauty without forgetting the techniques'
The designs in this item vary. All of them are exquisite and fablous.
Even if you don't understand Japanese, you will enjoy this book through many photos.
