Ryusen was established 44 years ago in Shuri. Its founder traveled to Kyoto to learn the spectacular technique of Kyo Yuzen (hand-dyed silk) and developed an innovative dyeing technique using Okinawa's traditional plant dyes. Ryusen has a large selection of bingata and kimono, obi and accessories featuring designs made with plant dye or agatized coral on the first floor. Upstairs you can imprint coral designs on textile items (from ¥3,240) and see artisans producing bingata by hand.
