"Hand-Dyeing" — Traditional Techniques by Kyoto Maruyama Dye Works
The long-established Maruyama Dye Works and their craftsmanship. Kyoto’s Maruyama Dye Works has preserved the hand-printing dyeing technique for many years. Skilled artisans dye each sheet carefully by hand, producing rich depth of color and a distinctive texture. Delicate gradients and a soft hand-feel that machines cannot reproduce are their charm.
The beauty of the dyed washi
Finished washi is supple like fabric yet strong and durable. The patterns, where Japanese tradition meets modernity, blend naturally into everyday life while offering a refined presence.
Careful Finishing at a Kyoto Box-Making Workshop
Meticulous handmade production
The dyed washi is processed one by one by artisans at a Kyoto box-making workshop. From how the paper is adhered to corner treatment and finishing beauty, the work is defined by careful handcraftsmanship with attention to detail.
