japanese craft books: more embroidery

I know what I'm making for this month's softie; I've decided to make a block for in a minute ago's "All That Jazz"  Katrina quilt; and I've got a few other ideas rolling around but I'm in the thinkin' and sketchin' stage, so nothing to post yet. So I thought I'd show my latest Kinokinuya acquisition: "The Art of Dyeing Cloth and Embroidery" ISBN4-277-36106-4.

Beautiful stuff:
Jc_moreembroidery1 Jc_moreembroidery2
Jc_morembroidery3
And as the title suggests, Ms. Yumiko dyes her own fabric:

The pictures are very clear and easy to follow, but I'm not sure what tools, dyes, etc. she is using, and I feel a little overwhelmed doing something like this without understanding the directions.
