During the Edo period (1603-1868), a law was issued prohibiting extravagance and calling on people to be thrifty.  As a result, extravagant kimonos with gilding, tie-dyeing, embroidery, etc. were banned. However, it developed \"Kyo-yuzen\" a colorful and beautiful dyed kimono, which was a cutting-edge fashion that attracted the attention of the masses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eOkayama Kyo-yuzen Studio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOkayama Kyo-yuzen Studio is home to the first female traditional craftsman in Japan to specialize in hand-painted Yuzen, who is also the first female Yuzen master.
