Introduction to Tomochin

Most of the Japanese dyeing techniques - tie-dyeing, type-dyeing, strand-dyeing, cloud-dyeing, and segment-dyeing - were learned from foreign countries. Only Tomochin dyeing is a dyeing technique unique to Japan. The quality of the water used for yuzen dyeing is very high. Because Kyoto is a city of famous water, the quality of the dyed fabrics is particularly good. Youzen dyeing reveals the subtle colors of ancient times.
