At Yotsume Dye House, Toyokazu Ono uses a traditional Japanese dyeing technique called Katazome to create household items like tenuguis ( tea towels ) and noren ( Japanese curtains ) to clothing with his original designs.
Katazome is a very time-consuming technique with many steps, and a piece of cloth is dyed through more than 20 processes.
