Dyeing - Somemono

Japanese: 染物 - そめもの

Textiles dyed with dyes. They are broadly divided into pre-dyed (sakizome) fabrics, in which the threads are dyed before they are woven, and post-dyed (atozome) fabrics, in which the woven fabric is dyed. Each type can be divided into plain dyes and patterned dyes. Patterned dyes include kakizome, stencil dyes, and surizome, which add color to the fabric to create shapes, and shibori, itajime shibori, and batik dyes, which use resist dyeing methods to prevent the dye from staining certain parts of the fabric. Often, both types are used together. In Japan, kakie, surizome, and koukechi, kyoukechi, and batik dyes, which correspond to shibori, itajime shibori, and batik dyes, remain among the dyed and woven textiles preserved in the Shosoin Repository. Tsujigahana dyeing, which mainly used shibori, was practiced from the Muromachi to Momoyama periods. During the Edo period, dyeing techniques made great strides, with the development of sophisticated shibori such as Hikita-shibori, stencil dyeing such as komon and chugata, and the creation of the revolutionary Yuzen dyeing technique, which led to the development of unique and colorful patterns.

Japanese:

染料を用いて染めた織物。織る前の糸を染める先染(さきぞめ)物と，織り上がった布を染める後染(あとぞめ)物に大別され，それぞれ無地染と模様染とに分けられる。模様染には，布地に色を加えて形を表す描(かき)染，型染，摺(すり)染と，防染法を用いて布の一部に染料が染めつかないようにする絞染，板締絞，蝋纈(ろうけつ)染などがあり，両者が併用されることも少なくない。日本では正倉院の染織品に描絵，摺絵や，絞染，板締絞，蝋纈染にあたる纐纈(こうけち)，【きょう】纈(きょうけち)，臈纈(ろうけち)などが残っている。室町〜桃山時代には絞染を主とした辻が花染が行われた。江戸時代には染色技術は飛躍的な発展を遂げ，絞りでは疋田絞のような精巧なものが作られ，型染では小紋，中形(ちゅうがた)などが行われた。また描染では画期的な友禅が創始され独特の多彩な絵模様が完成された。
