    “Normally, a large area is dyed by brush dyeing, but according to the author's policy, all are hand-painted as if they were inserted and colored with Yuzen. Among them are the Vajdahunyad Castle, the Houses of Parliament, Andrassy Avenue and the scenery of the Donau coast. The lovely flower patterns found in folk costumes are framed to add accents, and embroidery and gold leaf are used to create luxurious works.”[1]
