Japanese indigo dye, known as 藍染め (aizome), is a traditional dyeing technique that uses natural indigo derived from the leaves of the Japanese indigo plant (Persicaria tinctoria). It has been practiced in Japan for over 1,000 years and is renowned for its deep, rich blue hues—often called “Japan Blue.” Japanese indigo dyeing reflects a harmony between nature and craftsmanship. Each piece is hand-dyed and unique, carrying subtle variations that tell the story of the artisan’s process.

 

Key Features:

  • Natural Origins: The dye is made through a fermentation process of indigo leaves, creating a natural, plant-based pigment.
  • Cultural Heritage: Indigo-dyed fabrics have been used for centuries in samurai clothing, farmers’ workwear, and modern kimono and yukata.
  • Unique Color Range: Depending on the fabric and number of dips, colors range from pale sky blue to deep navy.
  • Functional Beauty: Indigo is not just beautiful—it also has anti-bacterial and insect-repelling properties, making it practical as well.
