Message from Yasumasa Komiya sensei
Since Edo Komon is dyed in a single color, my aim is to dye in a pure jem-like color, and a bright and clear color that does not lose its shine even after many years. Using the techniques passed on from the Edo period, I am trying to develop works that fit in our modern lifestyle.

Edo Komon is a dyeing technique that originated in the Edo period, traditionally used for formal samurai attire such as shikifuku and kamishimo. It involves dyeing white silk cloth, mounted on a single board, using stencils. I, Yasumasa, am the third-generation holder of this tradition, following Kosuke and Yasutaka.
Techniques such as kiku-kōshi (chrysanthemum lattice), amama (rain spacing), and sujisansuji (triple lines), which are dyed in a single color with meticulously detailed patterns, may appear plain from a distance—but upon closer inspection, their exquisite beauty becomes apparent. This work can only be completed through years of experience and mastery of the craft.
