【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).

The indigo is produced in house, and the dye used for the activity is made with a natural lye fermentation method.

Udatsu Townscape
"Udatsu" is a firewall built on the second floor of a building to prevent fire from spreading to neighboring houses and this area is commonly known as "udatsu-no-machinami" ( udatsu townscape) because of the large number of udatsu at both ends of the townhouses. Udatsu were originally built for fire prevention, but since it cost a lot of money to install them, they became more decorative and gradually became a symbol of wealth and success. This street is ideal for strolling the town with its restaurants and general stores.
