RYUKYU INDIGO
Ryukyu indigo, which has been cultivated in Okinawa since ancient times and used as a dye for indigo dyeing, is an indispensable dye for dyeing and weaving in Okinawa. The cultivation method is harsh, and in order to grow high-quality indigo leaves, thorough cultivation management and techniques, as well as strong physical strength and mental strength to withstand the heavy labor in the process of indigo making, are required. In addition, many years of experience and dedication are required to ascertain the state of fermentation and the amount of lime water to be used in the manufacturing stage.
Using indigo produced by a method that has been handed down from long ago, each piece is dyed by hand and washed carefully, resulting in a unique texture and expression that cannot be expressed with chemical dyes. have different depths of Ryukyu indigo can be said to be the color of culture with depth like the clean sea of Okinawa. However, with the passage of time, cheap chemically synthesized indigo became popular, and the number of people engaged in the time-consuming work of indigo has decreased.
