Textiles/Dyed Goods/Other Textile Products
Cloth made by the "yarn dyeing" method of weaving dyed threads is called woven fabric. It is made by combining threads vertically and horizontally. Depending on the thread material, dyeing method, weaving method, etc., the fabric can be finished in a variety of colors and textures. In addition, cloth made by the method of dyeing the woven fabric is called dyed goods. In addition, textile products such as braided cords and embroidery for costumes and weapons have inherited the tradition to this day.
In Japan, hemp fibers have been used for a long time, but it is said that sericulture and silk weaving techniques were brought to Japan by immigrants from China about 2,000 years ago. The technique developed throughout Japan, and during the Heian period, textiles with patterns unique to Japan began to be seen. From around the end of the 16th century, cotton fabrics became popular, and at first they were mainly used for military uniforms, but gradually became a part of the lives of ordinary people.
From hand weaving to weaving using large machines, etc., became mainstream. In addition to kimono, daily wear, and accessories, a wide variety of textiles are made.

Around the 7th century, along with the introduction of Buddhism, dyeing techniques were introduced from China and Korea. A method in which pigments extracted from plants such as safflower, Japanese madder, and indigo are fixed using a mordant, and patterns are applied to the fabric using stencils and resist paste. Various dyes and techniques unique to Japan, such as painting methods, have developed throughout Japan.
In modern times, artificial dyes have been imported from Europe, and more than 99% of the threads and fabrics currently in circulation are made from artificial dyes.
