During the Edo period, dyers were an important profession supporting the clothing of common people.
Beautifully dyed cloths were lined up in front of the dyer's shop.
The proverb "Kouya no shirobakama" (a dyer's white hakama) describes a situation where one neglects their own affairs while working hard for others.
The dyer's techniques carry on traditional Japanese dyeing culture, such as indigo dyeing.
