A white outline on a dyed banner is the result of work done before the surrounding colour. Yamanashi’s Koshu musha-nobori and koinobori reference describes paste placement and soybean liquid as separate operations on cotton cloth.
Technique and structure
The maker applies paste along the design with a tsutsu-gawa applicator, following a drawing lit from underneath. Soybean liquid is applied before colouring and is also mixed into the pigment used with an Edo hake brush. A later water wash removes the paste and reveals the white outline. The temporary paste line and the colour mixture therefore have different jobs. Reading them as stages of one process is more useful than treating every ingredient as a colourant.
Cloth is dyed before the final form
The account specifies 100 percent cotton, then lists sun drying and making up the finished banner after washing. It also notes that outdoor drying cannot proceed on rainy or windy days. These are process conditions, not a promise of a delivery date.
For international readers
For an order, confirm dimensions, intended display and current lead time with the maker. The reference does not establish weather resistance or a household cleaning method.

甲州の染め幟：白い輪郭になる糊と豆汁の役割
山梨県の甲州武者のぼり・鯉のぼり資料では、下絵に沿って筒皮で糊を置き、豆汁を塗り、豆汁を加えた顔料で染めます。水洗いで糊を落とすと白い輪郭が現れ、その後に乾燥と仕立てを行います。綿100％の布の工程を説明し、耐候性や納期は推測しません。
