Our plan's highlight is letting customers create unique items using indigo and ink, embracing the differences in patterns and color intensity. There's no single correct approach to dyeing; each piece reflects the individual's uniqueness. Instructors offer guidance, but the best results come from customers' personal styles. "Indigo" and "ink" are significant Japanese dyes featured in our activities. Indigo dyeing, a centuries-old Japanese method, uses the indigo plant to produce "Japan Blue," a unique blue cherished worldwide. Its history dates back to about 1500 years, gaining popularity in the Edo period and international acclaim in the Meiji era. Ink is central to Japanese culture and is associated with calligraphy and ink painting. While "ink dyeing" might suggest monastic robes or pure black, it actually results in a deep gray, illustrating the nuanced outcomes of dyeing with ink, which never achieves a true black but a rich gray tone.
