Japan’s traditional clothing, the kimono, is something the country proudly shares with the world. Among them, Kyoto’s Yuzen kimono are especially popular, known for their classical designs that are both intricate and exquisitely beautiful. Their high level of artistry has earned international acclaim, even appearing in events such as the Paris Collection.

The unique kimono-making process—applying colors according to detailed design outlines—closely resembles today’s popular coloring activities.

This book features a carefully curated selection of designs from Kameda Tomizome Factory, a long-established Kyoto Yuzen stencil-dyeing workshop, transformed into coloring pages. It also includes full-color examples of traditional patterns and an explanation of the stencil-dyeing process.

While learning about the beauty unique to Japan, you can enjoy adding your own colors to the delicate designs using colored pencils or other materials. Completed pages can be detached and displayed.

All explanatory text is provided in both English and Japanese.
