While Japanese Silk Dyers Work On Colorful Streamers Of Silk In The Water, USAF Jets Create Their Own Streamers High In The Sky.For Centuries Kyoto Has Been Reowned For Its Fabrics - Especially Hand-Dyed Silks. It Takes About Two Weeks To Dye Silk. The Designer Makes Stencils, One For Each Color, In Order To Rub In His Paste Like Pigments. The Scene In The Painting Depicts The Washing Of The Silk After It Has Been Baked In Ovens. The Fashionable Japanese Woman Has Small Need To Fear Seeing Her Gown Duplicated As The Stencils Are Used For Only Several Strips Of Silk.
