final drying.\u003cbr\u003eAn approximately 20-centimeter stencil is placed repeatedly along a bolt of white fabric about 12 meters long, with precise alignment required to create an uninterrupted fine pattern.\u003cbr\u003eTo reproduce the carver's design accurately, the dyer monitors the condition of the fabric, stencil, and paste throughout the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e1. Carving the Stencil\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo or three sheets of handmade washi are laminated with persimmon tannin to create the stencil paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe carver cuts the intricate pattern using awls, small knives, and specially made carving tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e2. Preparing the Colored Paste\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlutinous rice flour, rice bran, and a small amount of salt are mixed, steamed, and kneaded into a base paste. Dyes are then added.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe base color and pattern color are adjusted through repeated test dyeing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e3. Applying the Stencil Paste\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite silk is stretched taut across a long, solid fir board. A cypress spatula is used to press resist paste through the stencil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe stencil is repositioned along an approximately 12-meter bolt by aligning tiny registration points called okuriboshi. Its moisture is carefully controlled because drying can alter the stencil’s dimensions and disrupt the alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e4. Drying on the Board\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe resist paste is dried while the fabric remains attached to the board. For multicolored designs, the stencil application is repeated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e5. Ground-Color Dyeing (Shigoki)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce the resist is dry, the fabric is removed from the board and ground-color dye paste is spread evenly across the surface with a large spatula.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e6. Steaming\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore the dye paste dries, the fabric is steamed at 90–100°C for approximately 15–30 minutes to set the color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e7.

Generation\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Atsushi Tomita, dyeing was part of daily life long before it became his profession. From childhood, his mornings began alongside the workshop’s resident craftspeople, cleaning the garden and workspaces before school; after class, he returned to help with the family trade. He later worked for a women’s apparel company, then came home to the workshop at age 31. In 2006, he became its fifth-generation president.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat path—rooted in the workshop but informed by the wider world of fashion—still shapes his approach. Tomita carries forward inherited skill while looking for new patterns, colors, and forms that make Tokyo dyeing meaningful now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eA Workshop Shaped by Tokyo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workshop was founded in Asakusa in 1882 and moved upstream to Waseda in 1914, when dye houses were seeking the cleaner water of the Kanda River. There, generations of makers have practiced Tokyo Some Komon and Edo Sarasa using Ise katagami stencils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTokyo Some Komon rewards a closer look: what first appears to be a quiet field of color resolves into an extraordinarily fine repeating pattern. Edo Sarasa builds a different kind of depth, layering motifs and color through successive hand processes. In both, the result depends on more than a design. It depends on how a stencil is placed, how paste and dye are prepared, and how consistently the maker works across a length of cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTradition, Kept Alive Through Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTomita does not see continuity as repetition. Through the workshop’s SARAKICHI line, inherited dyeing knowledge has moved beyond kimono into accessories and objects for contemporary life. The purpose is not to make tradition look new for its own sake, but to let the qualities that made it endure—restraint, wit, rhythm, and exacting handwork—remain useful and felt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eA Clear Line Back to Waseda\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying from another country should not make the origin of the work abstract. The sequence shown here—Tomita, the Waseda workshop, an Ise *katagami* stencil, the preparation of color paste, and the dyed surface—keeps the chain of making visible. Together, these details show where the practice continues, who carries it forward, and why the finished surface bears the character of work done by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\/* LONGFORM_REPAIR_V1:MAKER *\/section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER]{padding:clamp(24px,4vw,64px) 0!important;min-height:0}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER]:empty{display:none}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__lede,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__intro,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h2{max-width:100%;width:100%;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;overflow-wrap:anywhere}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h2{font-size:clamp(32px,4vw,64px)!important;line-height:1.15;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:24px}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__story-grid{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr);gap:32px}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__story-card{display:block;min-width:0}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-row{display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:36px;align-items:start}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-copy{flex:1 1 340px;min-width:0;width:100%;max-width:100%}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot{flex:1 1 340px;min-width:0;margin:0}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot:empty{display:none}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot img,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot video{display:block;width:100%;height:auto;aspect-ratio:auto;object-fit:contain}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care{display:block}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care figure{max-width:760px;margin:0 auto}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care img{display:block;width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care-copy{padding-top:24px}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-copy,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-source,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care-copy{font-size:clamp(16px,1.6vw,20px);line-height:1.8;overflow-wrap:anywhere}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-copy p,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-source p{margin:0 0 1em}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h3{margin-bottom:28px}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h4,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h5{font-size:1.15em;line-height:1.4;margin:1.4em 0 .7em;font-weight:600}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__facts{display:block;margin:24px 0 0}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__facts\u003ediv{display:block;padding:24px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__facts dt{display:block;margin:0 0 12px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__facts dd{display:block;margin:0;font-size:clamp(24px,3vw,40px)!important;line-height:1.4;overflow-wrap:anywhere}@media(max-width:780px){section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-copy,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot{flex-basis:100%}}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Tomita Dyeing \u0026 Crafts Co., Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43835063337023,"sku":"BJ_P_00096","price":16102.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/8842\/3743\/files\/x__BJ_P_00096.png?v=1788798832","url":"https:\/\/www.brand-japan.store\/products\/edo-komon-pocket-square-gosho-guruma-crimson-birch-maru-toshi-brown","provider":"BRAND JAPAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
