KAGA-YUZEN Artist

Kaga-yuzen artists are artists accredited by the Kaga Dyeing Promotion Association and whose personal seals are registered with the association. In order to become a Kaga-yuzen artist, candidates are required to undergo on-the-job training for five years or more to acquire appropriate techniques under an instructor with a studio, and to be qualified through recommendation by two members of the association (the instructor and one more). Kaga-yuzen kimonos produced by Kaga-yuzen artists are marked with artists’ personal seals. The seal system is a testament to the quality of the traditional craft of Kaga-yuzen, and also an expression of the artist's pride.
