Craft Background

Kyoto Marble preserves a marble-print dyeing technique developed in Europe in the early 20th century. THE COVER NIPPON describes Kyoto Marble as inheriting a dyeing technique that no longer remains even in Europe, where it originated.

Main Features

Kyoto Marble is known for vivid colors, complex pattern combinations, and the warmth of handwork. Unlike ordinary screen printing, the technique can dye many colors at once, often using 20 to 30 colors in a single pattern and sometimes allowing up to 100 colors at once.

Handmade Appeal

Many parts of the process are done by hand, starting from the preparation of the paste. This creates a sense of depth, rich color, and a handcrafted texture that differs from digital printing.
