Itchiku Kubota and Tsujigahana
Itchiku Kubota 【久保田 一竹:くぼた いっちく】
A famous Japanese craftsman who specialised in traditional dyeing techniques.
Tsujigahana 【辻ヶ花:つじがはな】is a multi-colour dyeing technique that used to be commonly available during the Muromachi period and up to the beginning of the Edo period.
This technique was later replaced by a more efficient and more cost-effective dyeing technique called Yu-zen 【友禅:ゆうぜん】 a technique that is widely known even in these present days.
Itchiku was the man who developed his own techniques to re-invent the lost art of Tsujigahana throughout his life. His aim was to re-invent and develop it into his own style of dyeing.
