The cushion cover "6 People," featuring designs by the representative dye artist of Japan, Sayiro Yuki, is expressed through silk screen printing (hand printing). Yuki's works, which span various fields including fabric dyeing, printmaking, picture books, posters, and objects, are characterized by vibrant colors and unique motifs, evoking a sense of free-spiritedness. Carefully printed one color at a time using hand printing Hand printing (tenassen) is a technique often used in traditional crafts, where colors are meticulously printed onto fabric one at a time by hand. A thick paper or board with the desired pattern cut out is placed against the fabric, and dye is carefully applied over it using a spatula or similar tool. Since only one color can be dyed at a time, it is necessary to wait for it to dry before dyeing the next color. Due to the careful hand-dyeing process, it is also referred to as hand print or hand screen. Due to the depletion of dyes preferred by Sayiro Yuki and the aging of stencils, it has become difficult to continue producing traditional dyed fabrics. To preserve the original designs by Sayiro Yuki, silk screen printing (hand printing) has been adopted, and efforts are being made to reproduce the atmosphere, colors, and texture of the patterns as faithfully as possible to the original.
