Clear Indigo Blue

When we harve, we only pick the leaves containing blue dye by hand, except the stems containing brown dye. This work, we say “boziru” , is arduous process because it takes about 35 hours by hand of all stuff. By doing this, we can dye high-purity and clear indigo blue available nowhere else.

Our Base - Chizu Town

Our base, Chizu, Tottori Prefecture, is covered by forests on more than 90％ of the land and an abundance of clear water flows around the town. We dye the color of the clear stream and express the majesty of the cedar mountain in our Noren. Hailing from a small town of about 6,000 people, we incorporate the wisdom of the elderly, the sweat of fellow working individuals, the laughter of children, and the natural essence of Chizu.
