Indigo-dyed bag

Indigo dyeing, or "aizome" has deep roots as an industry in Tokushima prefecture. Dried and fermented "sukumo", used for indigo dyeing, has been cultivated from indigo leaves for generations, and the industry was at its peak in the Edo period (1603-1868). Today, because of the introduction of chemical dyes, the cultivation of indigo leaves in Tokushima has become more and more rare, however, we hope it will never die out completely. To preserve this precious traditional culture for future generations, our company cultivates indigo straight from the soil, producing sukumo, then using the dye to create a variety of unique products, such as shawls, T-shirts, and bags. We hope to share with you the beautiful colors and textures of Tokushima with our natural indigo-dyed products.
