Shirushi-zome印染

One maker

The dyer's craft of marks and emblems — family crests, shop names, and insignia dyed boldly onto cloth. Working with rice-paste resist, brush dyeing, and the indigo vat, shirushi-zome artisans turn a single strong design into noren shop curtains, festival banners, flags, and hanten workwear: made to be read at a glance and to last for decades.
