Edo Komon is one of the famous Japanese textiles. Because it is traditional, it is often used for Japanese clothing, but in fact, it is also used for apparel and items other than Japanese clothing, and there are many fans.
Therefore, in this article, we will focus on Edo Komon, review the overview, and introduce recommended Japanese clothing, apparel, and items.
What is Edo Komon?
Edo Komon, as the name suggests, refers to the stencil dyeing that developed during the Edo period. In most cases, it is expressed by dyeing the pattern in a dark color such as dark blue or brown.
The pattern is so fine and delicate that it looks plain from a distance. It is said that the size of the stencils is about 20 cm square, and they are placed one by one on the fabric to create a detailed pattern.
