Create a unique experience
with natural indigo.

I want as many people as possible to know the splendor of the beautiful indigo color that is given entirely to us by nature, and the color of Japan's proud traditional culture.

The moving experience of coming into contact with the mysteries of natural indigo, creating a valuable piece of art with your own hands, following your heart and sensibility, together with your loved ones, will be a one-of-a-kind experience that will remain in your heart and in a tangible form.

Enjoy the charm of
JAPAN BLUE
with the best ingredients.

In our workshop, which pays careful attention to the manufacturing environment, we have living "indigo vats" that are always kept in top condition and are looked after by our indigo dyeing artisans with all their heart and soul every day. The indigo dye, which is painstakingly made using the finest indigo leaves from Tokushima, one of Japan's leading indigo growing areas, is a precious dye worthy of being called JAPAN BLUE.
For this indigo dyeing experience, we will be using only bamboo cloth, which we feel is the best material and has the best indigo color.
The wonderful indigo color, the best feel, the best functionality... no matter how you look at it, we want you to take this opportunity to get your hands on this exquisite material.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience... We are confident that you will be delighted with it as a memento of your indigo dyeing experience and as a special piece that will last a lifetime.

Beyond borders, with people
from all over the world.

The beauty of the deep blue produced by indigo transcends borders and language barriers and resonates in our hearts.
We offer a special experience that allows you to experience the traditional Japanese technique of indigo dyeing with all five senses.
A moment of feeling the warmth of handiwork while being surrounded by the scent of indigo and listening to the clear sounds of water.
It's no problem if you don't understand Japanese.
With the latest translation technology, heartwarming body language and smiles, we guarantee you a wonderful experience.
Enjoy high-quality hospitality and the beauty of Japan with people from all over the world. Enjoy a unique experience to your heart's content.
