In the early Edo period (slightly prior to Yuzen dyeing), this was a kimono worn by the Ooku and Gosanke families of the Tokugawa family from May to September.Use by the general public was prohibited. The kimono is a single-layered summer kimono made of high-quality linen. Initially, it was worn as underwear under costumes, but by the Edo period it had come to be treated as summer outerwear. ”Chaya Tsuji'' uses advanced indigo dyeing techniques said to have been invented by Shirojiro Chaya, and is dyed with landscapes that combine buildings, plants, and running water. Many of the patterns expressed the literary meanings of classical and dynastic literature such as Noh songs and The Tale of Genji, and were patterns that expressed the culture of the upper class. Originally, they were dyed in shades of indigo on a white background, but from the mid-Edo period onward, they began to be embroidered with colored threads and began to use multiple colors.After the Meiji period, Chaya Tsuji was accepted by the general public as a high-class item, and later it became a detailed all-over pattern such as the seaside and cool scenery of the waterside, and even today it is mainly used as a summer pattern on silk products. It is dyed.The classy and cool Chaya Tsuji pattern is a pattern that will keep you cool and content on today's hot and humid day.

Japanese name / さくら　(Sakura)

-About-
Sakura, or cherry blossoms, are Japan’s national flower in the hearts of the people. Every spring, throngs of Japanese people and visitors make efforts to see this well-loved flower, a tradition known as “hanami”, a flower-viewing and picnic event to enjoy the blossoms.

Widely celebrated in Japanese literature, poetry, and art, sakura carry layered meanings. For example, because they bloom briefly, the blossoms are often seen as a metaphor for the ephemeral beauty of living. The brilliant blooming season is powerful, glorious, and intoxicating, but short-lived, a visual reminder that our lives, too, are fleeting.

The joyful tradition of hanami is an old and ongoing tradition, and can be traced back centuries in Japanese culture. The eighth century chronicle Nihon Shoki records hanami festivals being held as early as the third century AD.

The style of this painting is from the Maruyama school of the Edo era (1603-1868).

Japanese name/ <枝垂れ桜> Shidare-zakura

-About-

This pattern dates back to the Showa era. It depicts the elegant and lustrous form of a weeping cherry tree. The branches are treated like vertical stripes, and the cherry blossoms are stylized, creating a modern weeping cherry tree pattern.
Until the Manyo period, "flowers" meant "plum blossoms," but by the Heian period, cherry blossoms were beloved by aristocrats, and "flowers" came to mean "cherry blossoms." Cherry blossoms have captivated people's hearts from the Heian period to the present day.
In ancient times, trees with drooping branches were believed to house divine spirits. In some regions, weeping cherry trees were not considered appropriate for planting near ordinary private homes and were instead planted within temple grounds.

Japanese name/燕子花 (Kakitsubata)

-About-
This exquisite pattern was inspired by a work of art in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York called “Irises at Yatsuhashi (Eight Bridges)”, a pair of six-panel folding screens or “byobu” by Japanese artist Ogata Korin (1658-1716) of the Rimpa school. Born and raised in Kyoto, Korin became an official painter for the royal court in 1701, with Irises being painted just after receiving this honor.

Korin’s focus on irises seems to have many hidden meanings which stem from Japanese literature written over 1,000 years ago; telling of the noble class putting the iris in high regard due to its purple color, which could purify negative energies, and protect those who wore it. The flower was also believed to bring happiness and good fortune, as well as symbolize wisdom, hope, trust, and valor; therefore becoming a pattern which is often seen used on ceremonial kimono.

We are delighted to have been given official permission to use this extraordinary painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, to which Pagong has implemented the dye technique of Kyoto Yuzen.
