紫のゆかり: 染織史家・吉岡幸雄

Sachio Yoshioka

Fifth-generation Master Dyer and Color Historian

Using natural dyes, Yoshioka revived a number of ancient dyeing techniques to create a spectrum of traditional courtly colors.

Yoshioka’s notable work includes restoring religious ceremony costumes and textiles for historically significant temples and shrines.

Yoshioka has exhibited his work throughout Japan and internationally, including solo shows in Munich and London, and has collaborated with CHANEL to produce red lipsticks.
