What is the Itome Yuzen dyeing technique?
The Itome Yuzen dyeing technique is one of the most representative techniques of Yuzen dyeing, and is mainly used in Kyo Yuzen and Kaga Yuzen.
Itome Yuzen is a technique that uses "Itome glue" to prevent the outline of the pattern from being dyed.
Using Itome glue leaves thin white lines around the pattern, resulting in a delicate and elegant finish.
This is the most basic and traditional technique in hand-painted Yuzen.
Takizawa Akira Profile
The author, Takizawa Akira, is an artist who received a letter of appreciation from former First Lady Hillary Clinton of the White House.
The letter of appreciation was a thank-you letter for the visiting kimonos he created and presented to the wives of the prime ministers of each country at the request of the Japanese government during the Okinawa Summit held on July 21-23, 2000.
Takizawa-sensei was not chosen by someone to receive the honor of representing Japan in creating Homongi kimonos for the wives of the prime ministers of each country.
There was a call for applicants to create kimonos, and from among more than 5,000 applicants, a friend quietly submitted a furisode kimono she had made for a young lady to the selection committee, and Takizawa-sensei was selected and accepted the mission.
Takizawa-sensei has created Homongi kimonos for the wives of the prime ministers of seven countries all by himself.
Born in Niigata Prefecture in 1947.
Graduated from Senshu University in 1970.
In 1971, he learned planning and design and Kaga Yuzen techniques at a specialized Yuzen studio.
In 1980, the Takishin Planning Group was established and began training technicians.
In 1982, Takishin Planning, a Yuzen studio, was established.
In 1990, he held a solo exhibition in Echigo-Tsumari, creating a new style with people from various industries.
Since then, he has held the exhibition every year.

■Technique
Takizawa grew up in Tokamachi, where his father worked in dyeing, and learned from the first Yusui Toku sensei
the high level of skill in creating delicate weave patterns.
This is a clean and sophisticated Kaga Yuzen weave technique that does not use gold leaf, embroidery, or shading.
Weave weave yuzen, which requires more than three times the effort of regular yuzen, is characterized by its clear, sophisticated, and strong beauty even from a distance.
■A look that makes the wearer look their best
The characteristic of Takizawa-sensei's Homongi is that it produces a very beautiful color with a high transparency called "sherbet tone".
Using this color as a base, he creates all kinds of Homongi full of fun, such as World Heritage sites, numerous classics, flowers that do not feel the season, dogs, cats, horses, etc.
He is full of deep love, saying that ordinary things are boring! He wants to bring out the undiscovered wonderfulness that the wearer has!
In addition, while working with stage actors such as Yoshiko Mita and Makoto Matsui, he pursued a look that "makes the wearer look their best".
He continued to seek a look that "makes the wearer look their best" when someone wears it, not just "amazing!" when it is hung on a clothes rack.
I'm sure you will discover a refined, beautiful and elegant me that you never knew before! You will also receive great praise from those around you.
