From Japanese Craftpedia portal
Yūzen (友禅染) is a traditional Japanese textile dyeing technique characterized by elaborate hand-painted designs, often featuring natural motifs such as flowers, birds, water, and landscapes. It is one of the most celebrated forms of decorative kimono dyeing and is particularly associated with Kyoto. The name derives from the Edo-period fan painter Miyazaki Yūzensai (宮崎友禅斎), who is credited with popularizing the style in the late 17th century.
