| Uemura's notes | The plant had been used as medicine, but not as dyestuff. For this dyeing, the plant prepared for medicine was used. The plant was listed as medicinal plants in historic manuscripts, including the Shos-in monjyo () from the 8th century AD, Japan, and the Shinnhonzoukyo () from 300 BC - 200 AD, China. |
