The town of Kamiita is the number one producer of "sukumo", a raw material needed for indigo dye, in Japan. At the Waza no Yakata, visitors can try indigo dyeing via a natural lye fermentation method.
The size of the tenugui is 85 cm x 35 cm. Cotton fabrics are perfect for the hot seasons because they have a great texture and dry quickly. They also make for a great gift or souvenir.
Rubber bands or clothespins are used to apply various patterns to the plain tenugui. When you have finished applying the pattern, you are ready to dye with indigo. ♪ Through this activity, please experience the beauty of colors and the joy of indigo dyeing.
This activity is perfect for beginners and young children! The instructor will carefully teach you how to apply the pattern and dye the fabric.
