Matsubara Nobuo

Nobuo Matsubara (Japanese:松原伸生, Matsubara Nobuo, born June 14 1965)^[1] is a Japanese textile artist who specializes in dying kimonos using the Nagaita-Chugata technique of resist dyeing.^[2]

Biography[edit]

Matsubara was born in Edogawa, Tokyo, in 1965. He was named a Living National Treasure in 2023^[3] for his work in the field of Nagaita-Chugata.

Style[edit]

The Nagaita-Chugata dyeing technique is typically used in the making of Yukata.^[4] Ise katagami, handcut paper stencils from the Mie Prefecture are used to apply resist paste to both sides of the kimono cloth. This technique was common until the last century where a cheaper technique called chusen became popular to dye fabric on both sides. ^[5] Matubara mainly uses real indigo to dye his kimonos.^[6]
