Chichibu Indigo Dyeing Experience Workshop

Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture is known as a production area for Bushu Indigo, with workshops offering indigo dyeing experiences. Immersing white cloth in natural indigo dye and creating patterns using tie-dye and board-pressing techniques offers the joy of once-in-a-lifetime uniqueness, where no two pieces are ever the same. The deep blue of the indigo becomes richer with each layer, allowing you to learn craftsman techniques up close. The finished tegui and stoles can be taken home as one-of-a-kind pieces.
