| Suruga Dyeing |
 |
The dyeing industry developed together with the growth of the textile industry in Shizuoka in the 16th century. Two dyeing methods are used for Suruga dyeing. Katazome (stencil dyeing) is a dyeing method involving applying glue on a stencil and tsutsuzome is a method which uses a cone to apply glue. Suruga dyeing creates a pleasing contrast of indigo and white to which the Japanese feel a sense of nostalgia. |
