About this work
This yukata was created using a traditional Japanese tsutsugaki yuzen resist-dyeing technique, in which a glutinous mix of rice flour and water is applied to the cotton fabric using a tool with a nozzle, similar to a cake-icing bag. Featured here are more than ten different types of flowers, including hydrangeas, clematises, chrysanthemums, wisteria, irises, peonies, plum blossoms, lilies, bush clovers and bell flowers.
