Traditional Japanese Patterns Used on the Shaft

Kyoto Yuzen and Edo Komon
Kyoto Yuzen is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique that originated in the Genroku period (1603-1868) and is known for its colorful, painterly patterns. It is particularly known for its beautiful floral, bird, and landscape motifs.

Edo Komon is a traditional dyeing pattern that was originally seen only on samurai kimono during the Edo period as a standard small pattern. However, as the number of craftsmen increased, it began to be used on kimonos for commoners as well.
