Japanese flag red safflower cold-dyed long-sleeved kimono by Shuji Nitta
This long-sleeved kimono is the work of Hidetsugu Nitta, a leading expert on safflower, and has been dyed many times with safflower.
Safflowers come in beautiful pinks and yellows, but this one is a very deep red, and such a deep red color is very rare.
To get such a beautiful deep color, you need to dye it more than 10 times.
By dyeing it many times while checking the color, you can get such beautiful colors.
When dyed in the cold season, called ``kanzome,'' it becomes a beautiful deep dark color like this. |
