Japanese term

手描き染

Japanese to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is the name of an art form (noun, not adjective). I'm thinking of usince "Hand-Dyed Cloth" or something similar, but would like to know if there's something better.

Joe L Oct 13, 2006:
Hi. I think you can't go wrong with either of the two
answers posted (as I write this). But I also think
your "hand-dyed cloth" would work just fine. Doesn't
appear that there's a more specialized, artsy-fartsy term
in English for this.

freehand dyeing

Isn't this Japanese term a technique of "Yuzen-zome" or something like that?
If so, I recommend asker to access those Web Sites I mention below.
And another expression of "freehand paste drawing" may have same meaning.

And I also introduse a useful Web Site of Japanese Architectural and
Art Historical Terminology:

Example sentence:

The gentle expression on Mr Maida's face while he talks with me suddenly becomes serious as he picks up his brush to work. Kaga yuzen freehand dyeing is such concentrated work that when the artist faces his canvas he enters his own world.

Tegaki yuzen, or freehand paste drawing, starts with a small version of the design on paper.

Peer comment(s):

agree humbird : Kouji-En states 手描き is a technique that does not require pattern or else, and use freehand drawing. So this answer is more specific. Common spelling is "dying", however.

Thak you so much. Anyway, why don't you see your dictionary?
agree Joe L : Your references are very helpful. Also, your spelling, "dyeing", is CORRECT; "dying" would, in fact, be incorrect.

Thank you. I am pleased to hear "CORRECT".
