Kyoto Black Dyeing

The history of Kyoto Black dyeing dates back to the Heian period (794-1185). At that time, sumi ink dyeing, in which the fabric is dyed with sumi ink, was used. In the Edo period (1603-1867), in order to express a deep black color, a technique called "BENI-shita" and "Ai-Shita" was used to under-dye the fabric with BENI(deep red) and AI(indigo), respectively. At that time, the fabric was dyed black using a vegetable dye called "binroji". Black clothing with family's crest dyed with "binroji" dye was said to be so strong that it could not be pierced by swords. And it became popular among samurai. In the Meiji era (1868-1912), it became popular among the general public when the haori hakama was made the first formal attire for men. In order to produce a deep color, black dyeing is done by repeating the preliminary dyeing process many times and layering the colors. Black dyeing requires a lot of time and effort, and is based on the unique intuition of the dyeing artisan's skills and long years of experience. The dyeing process is repeated dozens of times by moving the fabric up and down while slightly changing the temperature of the dye. As time went by, the technique of Kyoto Black dyeing evolved with the dye craftsmen's insatiable pursuit of the real black. In 1979, Kyoto Black dyeing was designated as a national traditional craft. The black that Kyoto Black dyeing pursues It is not only the color of black in substance, but also the color of the power of the spirit that governs the feelings of the Japanese people. The "ultimate" of Kyoto Black dyeing was born from the insatiable pursuit of black.
