These days are dazzling with fresh green and the scent of early summer. It is cold in the morning and evening, but when you walk outside during the day, it feels warm and pleasant.
The May issue of "Kyushu Kingdom" featured Ibasen's indigo dyeing folding fan.
Excerpt from the text:
The article reads: "Using an Edo period pattern paper, the fabric was dyed with tate indigo produced in Awa City, Tokushima Prefecture, in Saitama, the hometown of Shibusawa Eiichi, who is the focus of much attention for his historical dramas. Indigo is believed to be effective in deodorizing, repelling insects, and repelling snakes, and has been used for kimonos, tenugui hand towels, curtains, and various other applications since ancient times. The new wave pattern is limited to 50 pieces and comes with an indigo-dyed mask, which would make a great gift.
