| |
This fun single-layer summer fabric has a musical note pattern woven into it, and the bold and fun large musical staves and notes are dyed with the high-quality Itome Yuzen technique. I'm really looking forward to the concert. The base color is light gray, but there are lots of yellow blurs, so your skin looks brighter. This is a formal kimono that you'll want to wear anytime, whether it's for an evening or daytime event.

●What is the Itome Yuzen dyeing technique?
The Itome Yuzen dyeing technique is one of the most representative techniques of Yuzen dyeing, and is mainly used in Kyo Yuzen and Kaga Yuzen.
Itome Yuzen is a technique that uses "Itome glue" to prevent the outline of the pattern from being dyed.
Using Itome glue leaves thin white lines around the pattern, resulting in a delicate and elegant finish.
This is the most basic and traditional technique in hand-painted Yuzen.
Profile of Akira Takizawa
The author, Akira Takizawa, is an artist who received a letter of appreciation from Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady of the White House.
The letter of appreciation was for the formal kimonos that he created and presented to the wives of the prime ministers of various countries at the request of the Japanese government during the Okinawa Summit held from July 21 to July 23, 2000.
The honor of creating formal kimonos for the wives of the prime ministers of various countries on behalf of Japan was not chosen by someone's recommendation.
There was a call for applicants to create kimonos, and a friend of his quietly submitted a furisode that he had made for a young lady to the selection committee from among more than 5,000 applicants, and Takizawa was selected and accepted the mission.
Takizawa has created formal kimonos for the wives of the prime ministers of seven countries by himself.

■Technique
Takizawa grew up in Tokamachi, where his father worked in dyeing, and learned from the first Yusui Toku sensei
to acquire the high level of skill in creating delicate thread patterns.
This is a clean and sophisticated Kaga Yuzen thread yuzen technique that does not use gold leaf, embroidery, or shading.
Itome Yuzen, which takes more than three times as much time and effort as regular Yuzen, is characterized by its clear, refined, and strong beauty even from a distance.
■A look that makes the wearer look their best
Takizawa-sensei's Homongi is characterized by the extremely beautiful colors that are highly transparent, called "sherbet tones."
Using these colors as a base, he creates all kinds of Homongi full of fun, such as World Heritage sites, numerous classics, flowers that do not feel the season, dogs, cats, horses, etc.
He is filled with deep love, saying that ordinary things are boring! He wants to bring out the undiscovered beauty that the wearer has!
In addition, while working with stage actors Yoshiko Mita and Makoto Matsui, he pursued a look that "makes the wearer look their best."
He continued to seek not only "amazing!" when it is hung on a clothes rack as a kimono, but also a look that "makes the wearer look their best" when worn by someone.
You will discover a new, more elegant, and beautiful side of yourself that you never knew existed, and you will surely receive great praise from those around you.
