History
Yūzen dyeing originated in the late Edo period (17th century), when Miyazaki Yūzensai introduced methods of freehand painting on fabric that allowed for detailed, pictorial decoration. This innovation distinguished yūzen from earlier resist-dyeing methods such as shibori, providing greater freedom of design and clarity of line.
