Natural Awa Aizome Indigo Dyeing Yamauchi
【Awa Indigo Yamauchi Udatsu Workshop】 Aizome Indigo Dyeing
【Awa Indigo Yamauchi Udatsu Workshop】
The town of Wakimachi flourished as a trading center for indigo since the Edo period (1603 - 1868). It is often referred to as the "Udatsu no Machinami" (Udatsu Townscape), due to the udatsu style roofs, which are high-winged walls built to prevent the spread of fire from one house to another.
This indigo studio is nestled in the streets of the Udatsu Townscape, allowing visitors to freely enjoy Tokushima's culture. The indigo is produced in house, and the dye used for the activity is made with a natural lye fermentation method.
Come stop by and make your own original indigo dyed item, a great way to remember your trip!
