Known all over the world as “Japan Blue,” the deep and vivid blue hue of indigo dye is a color that best represents Japan.
Replete with mountains, rivers, and seas, the vast natural surroundings of Tokushima Prefecture are reflected in its cuisine, culture and scenery.
A mecca of indigo-dye-making, this rich land is the perfect backdrop to this tradition that has been passed down since ancient times.

Indigo cultivation begins in March, and harvest occurs around June when the plants' leaves have grown. The cut leaves are sorted to remove stems, and the remaining leaves are dried, preserved, and fermented to produce indigo dye.

Preserving tradition and culture, the skill and resolve of these craftsmen produce the highest quality indigo dye in the world.

 Products created without compromise, through the skills of expert craftsmen.
It's very hard to dye wood using natural indigo dye, but we've achieved this through years of experience and the pursuit of techniques every single day.
Painting the wood is all done by hand, and we make subtle adjustments that cannot be done by a machine depending on the weather, temperature, and the condition of the wood.
