The Development Course of Hand Printing and Dyeing in Japan

Another country where hand printing and dyeing is quite developed is Japan. After the 7th century, with the spread of Tang Wenhua, rich printing and dyeing products began to appear in Japan. It can be said that the history of Japanese hand printing and dyeing is also a history of cultural exchange between China and Japan, because by the 6th century, Tang Wenhua was still influencing Japanese hand printing and dyeing. According to the Biography of Wei Zhengren, Ji Meizi, the queen of the State of Rolls for grain, sent an envoy to Wei for the first time in the third year of Jing (239). So it was difficult to promote Zhu, so he was sent to the city as an envoy. They took four male slaves, six female slaves and two "Bambu" horses to Luoyang, the capital of China, not far from Wan Li. The "patchwork" mentioned here is the dyed valerian in Japan.

The invasion of European culture in16th century has greatly impacted Japanese printing and dyeing, and made its own national reflection. By the time of Edo, Japan had formed its own unique national style of dyed Valeriana, including "deer embryo twist", "moire twist", "eye twist" and "San Pu twist" 100. This exquisite, gorgeous and unique style has continued to this day.

There is also a very developed area of hand printing and dyeing, namely Java Island in Indonesia. Batik in Java is quite famous in the world. This is mainly due to Java's good natural conditions and advanced batik tools. The extensive use of wax pots and leaky nozzles makes Java batik complex and exquisite, forming its own unique fine style. Now, there are batik factories of considerable scale in Bandung, Java, and manual workshops are spread all over the country. Their products have opened their own consumption in the world and are deeply loved by people in Africa, India and Europe. It is also worth mentioning that Java batik also has a place in the world fashion stage.
