- Background
In Japan, the Jomon period is considered to be the beginning of the dye culture. Dyeing methods at that time were primitive, and it is said that flowers, tree bark, and soil were rubbed directly onto the fabric to dye it. Thereafter, during the Edo period, people's lives became richer and culture flourished.Dye culture, colors, patterns, and materials are used as symbols of status. In addition, the culture of dyeing goods is more than a status symbol, it permeated the daily lives of the common people, such as the Obi and fan, and was applied to daily wear.
*Dye culture epitomizes Japanese culture and the Japanese lifestyle. Through Dye culture, you can learn about Japan's ever-changing history, culture, and Japanese's ever-changing lifestyles.

*Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese square wrapping cloth used for wrapping and carrying items. It's a versatile alternative to paper or plastic bags, and can also be used for gift wrapping. The name "furoshiki" literally means "bath cloth," as it was originally used in public baths to wrap and carry clothes.
*Those courses will use chemical dyes. Chemical dyes are chemically synthesized dyes, which are artificially created to reproduce colors with high reproducibility and stability, and can express vivid colors.
