Miyazaki YūzenMiyazaki Yūzen (宮崎 友禅, 1654 – July 25, 1736), also known as Miyazaki Yūzensai or Yūzenzai (友禅斎), was a Japanese fan painter who perfected the yūzen fabric dyeing technique. BiographyMiyazaki was born in Kyoto in 1654.[1] He was originally a fan painter, but is also known for his work with kosode.[2] Miyazaki painted his most popular fan designs on kimono, and they were wildly popular.[3] He used rice paste to resist-dye the cloth in a method that he named yūzen-zome.[1] It later became known as simply yūzen. This technique made it easier for Miyazaki to paint his designs directly on the kimono, making them more expressive.[4] His designs were so popular that they were published as Yuzen-hinagata (友禅雛形 “Yūzen maquette”)[5] in 1688.[6] Fan paintingMiyazaki was first known for his fan painting. He later painted his most popular designs onto kimono. Development of Yūzen methodMiyazaki developed a method to make it easier to resist-dye designs onto cloth. He is now more famous for this that he is as a fan painter. References
