The Enchanting World of Hand-Painted Yuzen with Exquisite Techniques
Hand-painted yuzen is made by drawing the outline of patterns with glue on a white fabric and painting carefully within the lines with a brush to create intricate patterns. Yuzen artist Hisano Ozaki uses itome (threadline) glue to make the white outline stand out, and uses the batik method to create color gradient. Her beautiful textiles with depth in colors like watercolor paintings are highly evaluated, and she received the Japan Kōgei Association Incentive Award at the 71st Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition. While conveying and preserving traditional techniques, Ozaki's textiles are created with originality and uniqueness and is bringing a new breeze to the world of yuzen.
