I Tried Traditional Indigo Dyeing in Japan!
✨Watch another beautiful kimono unboxing from here:https://www.patreon.com/risasato/post... 🩵💙In this vlog, I explore the incredible world of traditional crafts in Kameoka, Kyoto. After spending the morning sharpening my kitchen knives at the Toishikan whetstone museum, I head over to a Ryukyu Ai indigo dyeing workshop. Watch the beautiful patterns emerge (it looks just like hydrangeas!) and learn about the amazing, zero-waste lifecycle of natural indigo. 📹For further insight into their work, you can watch the original video here: • 亡き父が残した幻の京都の藍…思いを受け継ぎ、奮闘する日々に密着【かんさい情報ネット ...
