This tie-dyeing technique, known as 'phantom Tsujigahana', was popular from the late Muromachi period until the birth of Yuzen in the early Edo period. It is a dyeing technique that uses shibori techniques such as 'seimejime-shibori' to dye colours in multiple colours, and then completes the pattern with suri-foil (a decorative technique using gold and silver leaf) and sumi-gaki (ink writing). It is known that warlords such as Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were great admirers of this technique, and it has been preserved as a relic. There are only a few craftsmen today who can realise the techniques of those times, and at TOYOWADO, this technique has been beautifully revived by master traditional craftsmen.
