Overview

Begin your experience by meeting a friendly local guide who introduces the history and meaning of “Japan Blue,” the iconic indigo color cherished since the Edo period. Receive your own tenugui cloth and select from various shibori techniques to design your dyeing pattern, using sample works and silk-screen motifs for inspiration. After folding and tying your cloth, dip it into the indigo vat and watch it transform from green to deep blue as it oxidizes. Rinse and reveal your unique pattern. Once dried and ironed, choose Japanese-inspired motifs such as Mount Fuji or ukiyo-e characters to silk-screen onto your cloth. After final ironing, your original Japanese hanging scroll is complete. Take a commemorative photo and bring home a one-of-a-kind souvenir.

Since the total duration of the experience may vary depending on the number of participants, the tour’s end time may finish a little earlier or later. This workshop is held in a facility that also houses a rescue cat space. If you have a cat allergy, please let us know in advance. (For mild allergies: we can keep the cats in a separate room and shorten the time spent in the dyeing area if needed. For severe allergies: staff or other participants may complete the dyeing process on your behalf, or participation in the activity may need to be reconsidered.) The indigo dye used in this workshop is very strong. If it gets on your clothing, it may not come off even after washing. Please make sure to wear the protective apron or clothing provided by the facility. Please understand that we cannot take responsibility for any stains or damage to your personal belongings such as clothes, shoes, bags, or accessories during the workshop. If you have an allergy to indigo or related ingredients, please inform us in advance. The inks used in silk screen printing can also leave permanent stains on clothing and personal items. Please be careful when handling the materials. We cannot be held responsible for any damage or stains to your personal belongings. During the dyeing process, the dye may come into contact with your hands, nails, skin, or hair. It may not wash off immediately. We are not responsible for staining or discoloration of your skin, hair, nails, clothes, or personal belongings. As irons and dryers involve high heat, there is a risk of burns. Please follow the instructions of the staff carefully. If you feel uncomfortable handling these tools, our staff or guide can assist or perform the step for you — just let us know. This tour is not recommended for individuals with mobility issues since we do workshop in a small facility.
