Aizome: The Art of Natural Indigo Dye
|
|
As soothing to the skin as the eyes, indigo dye has colored Japan since the Edo period. This long-standing reverence has granted the color the title of “Japan Blue.”
|
|
|
|
|
Indigo leaves are harvested in the summer, when pigment levels are at their peak. They undergo a long fermentation before artisans can use them as dye.

|
In Japan, indigo pieces have clothed samurai, firefighters, and even babies. The plant’s anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties have granted the dye a reputation of protection.
