 Product History

When did these crafts start to craft?:1200 years ago / 800AD / Heian period in Japan

The general term for dyeing techniques practiced in Kyoto. Since the establishment of the Oribeshi (Weaving Office) in 794 (the 13th year of the Enryaku era) at the time of the capital's relocation to Heian, Kyoto has continuously played a central role in Japan's dyeing and weaving industry, in terms of technique, production, and trends. This dominance reflects the superiority of Kyoto's dyeing techniques over those of other cities and regions. The term first appeared in historical documents, such as the edicts of Takeda Shingen, and became commonly used during the Edo period. Various dyeing techniques, including Yūzen-zome (Yūzen dyeing), Shibori-zome (tie-dyeing), Chūgata-zome, and Komon-zome were developed, but one common feature was the specialization of tasks. Shikkai-ya (dyeing coordinators) played a central role in managing the division of labor.
