THE ART OF YUZEN
Discover Japan's Traditional Art of Color.
Yuzen is a traditional Japanese textile-dyeing technique known for detailed motifs and rich colors.
At Ichifujiya, you paint onto a 100% silk piece with a design already outlined. Instead of having to draw the pattern yourself, you can focus on color selection and brushwork.
Each combination of colors makes the finished piece your own.
