There are a variety of brushes for different purposes and techniques and artisans use each type accordingly.
This kimono was made as part of the Ritsumeikan project to conduct research on the current conditions of craft-making in Kyoto, as well as recording Kyō yūzentoday, revealing its characteristics and shed light on related issues. Videos and photographs were taken during the making of this kimono, and the artisans involved were interviewed. Etsuko and Joe Price who are renowned collectors of Itō Jakuchū’s works also collaborated by granting the use of the images of the original paintings by Itō Jakuchū in their collection.
