Experience dyeing workshops at Lake Kawaguchi using "indigo" and "ink." Each piece is dyed by hand. The individual touch of handiwork, along with the desire to dye beautifully, gives birth to original dyed goods. We not only offer the experience but also propose simple yet stylish designs that can be easily incorporated into your daily life. We are committed to creating items that can be used for a long time, providing re-dyeing services, and providing aftercare guides so that our customers can continue to use their products. The natural feel of materials and the uniqueness of making them yourself result in a product that is one-of-a-kind in the world, something no one else can replicate. Most items we use in our daily lives are dyed with chemical dyes. Chemical dyes have the advantage of having stable colors, being inexpensive, and being resistant to fading compared to natural dyes. However, chemical dyes have been pointed out to have negative effects on the environment and human health. In this context, our store offers natural dyeing experiences using only natural materials, such as indigo and ink. Two types: ink and indigo

Located in a small cat cafe, we met with the female teacher and learned how to tie-dye using indigo ink. Fun experience which we would recommend.
