Vintage Japanese Enamel Sign “Kiriyama dye”. This is an interesting one a dye production company for home dying fabrics and kimono’s. Quite an old one as the writing is right to left instead of the now standardised left to right. Can’t find a great deal of information about this company. = Mameyakkoshirushi (“Bean man Logo” – I’m guessing this was the mascot for the logo like the michelin man). = Kiriyama dye 1.14kg 45cm x 33cm This from someones blogspot on Japanese dyes: The Tate-dyeing teqnique uses alkaline dyes. When caustic soda and hydrosulfite are applied to the dyes to reduce them and make them soluble in water. After soaking the fibers in the solution you expose them to the the air where they oxidized into a robust color that does not come off easily even when washed. The prosperity of household dyes was probably until the 1950s, and in the 1960s, the number of people who re-dyed kimonos and made them into futons was reduced after Dylon came in. Some dyes in Dylon are boiled and dyed, but some dyes are dyed in water. It was a great complaint that anyone could easily dye something. Dylon had many colors, especially pale colors called pastel colors. Until then, dyeing that was very troublesome became easy to do in the kitchen of the apartment room, and all the fashion magazines featured dyeing using Dylon. Dyeing was even called “Dylon”. In the era of shifting from easy orders and orders to ready-made clothes, T-shirts came out, and dyed items that could be dyed in your favorite color became a bit of a boom, and Dylon was lined up at every handicraft shop. There were still many fabric shops in the middle of big towns such as in front of Shibuya station, but the cloths were exchanged in winter and summer, and cotton could not be found in winter. Since only glossy cloth and limited colors were available, some people dyed sheeting with Dylon and used it for handicrafts. Until Dylon came out, the image of household dyes was that they were quietly placed in the corners of the shelves with dust, but I was surprised at the display shelves of Kiriyama dyes. Even though they put so much effort into advertising and made a large number of colours, it is strange that I can’t even find out when Kiriyama Dye was founded and where the factory was.
