After the final drying, the fabric was soaked into ash water, dried, and then rinsed with water. This technique is used for dyeing a brown of those textiles made in Hachijyō island (八丈島), Japan. Their stripe pattern, called "Kihachijyō (黄八丈)" consists of this brown and a yellow dyed with Arthraxon hispidus (Thunb.) Makino, so-called "Kobuna-gusa /Hachijyō-Kariyasu". |
