Indigo Leaf Dyeing Workshop [Summer Exclusive] 6th (Sat) morning/afternoon/evening）
Instructor: Cozo Kazama
Summer Exclusive! Fresh Indigo Leaf Dyeing Workshop
Does the color of aizome, the traditional Japanese indigo dye popularly known as “Japan blue,” come to mind?
In fact, indigo dyeing has a color that can only be produced in summer. Let's dye a silk stole emerald green using fresh indigo leaves.
Dyeing with fresh indigo leaves is a special experience that can only be enjoyed in summer.
In this workshop, participants will use freshly harvested indigo leaves from Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, to dye a silk stole.
Your instructor will be Cozo Kazama, a certified Traditional Craftsman of Tochigi Prefecture with many years of experience in Japanese indigo dyeing. Alongside hands-on dyeing, he will give a short lecture on the history and beauty of indigo, allowing you to deepen your understanding while enjoying the craft.
The workshop also includes a relaxing tea time featuring tea brewed from indigo leaves—a unique chance to learn and unwind at the same time. Don’t miss this summer-only opportunity!
Date & Time: Saturday, September 6
Morning: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Afternoon: 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Evening: 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm
After 4:00 pm, the community event “Ten” will be held in the Satake shopping street where the venue, Gallery Shiromuji, is located. Please note that the indigo dyeing experience will be held at a booth in the gallery storefront, so the lecture will be omitted and the instructor may not be present.
