| Gallery label | Until the introduction of synthetic dyes in the late 18th century, Japanese artisans used natural dyes to make colours, often combining materials or altering ingredients to create varying hues. These textiles have all been dyed with beni, revealing the range of shades different recipes can produce. Knowledge like this was at risk of vanishing, until Yoshioka Sachio became the fifth-generation head of his family’s dye workshop and dedicated his life to reviving and preserving natural dye methods.(31/5/2022) |
