From a kimono with small patterns depicting leaves using Roketsu dyeing.

Wax-dyeing is a labor-intensive process using multiple colors. When using multiple colors, the process of placing wax on the handle, dyeing it, and removing the glue is repeated several times to complete the process.

Furthermore, for the small patterns, which have detailed patterns all over the kimono, this process is repeated for each kimono, resulting in a work that is mind-bogglingly delicate and intricate.

This kimono allows you to fully experience the unique texture of wax dyeing.

The branches and leaves of plants are considered to be a symbol of "life force" because they remind us of strength and growth.

Waxuezome - One of the oldest techniques called Tenpyo Sanjo. By applying wax to the handle and dyeing it, the wax part will be dyed white. It is characterized by a pattern that looks like it is cracked. Until the Heian period, beeswax was imported from China, but with the abolition of the envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the technique of wax-making was lost, and was revived in the Meiji period.
