Product Info
- This is a traditional Japanese indigo dyeing experience on Nokonoshima Island, Fukuoka. While dyeing fabric on an island surrounded by nature, you can enjoy the unique color changes of indigo and the fun of handiwork. The highlight of this experience is the moment the fabric taken out of the indigo vat changes from a dark emerald green to indigo blue. The patterns change depending on how you fold and tie the fabric, so no two works are the same. Do not look for a right answer, and feel free to create your own unique piece. We will provide 2 tenugui towels per person for dyeing. Rubber gloves and disposable raincoats are also provided, so you can participate without bringing your own fabric or tools. You can take the finished tenugui towels home on the same day. Even beginners will be guided through the steps by the instructor in an easy-to-understand manner. We welcome overseas guests, those interested in Japanese culture, and families with children aged 10 and over. Let's enjoy the nature of Nokonoshima and the time spent indigo dyeing together. ~Experience Flow~ 9:00 Reception and introduction to the experience We will explain the flow of the day and points to enjoy indigo dyeing. 9:20 Fold the fabric and create patterns Think of your own unique pattern by folding and tying the tenugui. 10:00 Dye with indigo Lift the fabric from the indigo vat and enjoy watching it change from green to blue up close.
