Career
Yamada Eiichi served at Kyoto Dyeing Workshop of Mitsukoshi Company as apprentice in designing and coloring (from 1914). Later studied under Yosaburo Yoshikawa in oshi-yuzen (art of printing silk by impressing method), egaki-sarasa (hand-patterned cotton) and nori-oki (art of starch application.) and received secret formula in brush starching of yuzen (printed silk) from his master (from 1919).
