At the indigo dyeing workshop in the Kawasaki Municipal Japanese House Garden and the Kawasaki City Traditional Crafts Center, we will prepare a limited-time indigo dyeing experience where you can bring in a mask provided by the government to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus and dye it.

This is a new experience menu where you can create a mask that is a little different from other people by adding your favorite pattern to a pure white mask.

[What is indigo dyeing]
Indigo is an annual plant of the polygonaceae family. Indigo solution is made by adding lime, lye, water, etc. to this and letting it heat and ferment. Indigo dyeing is a simple handicraft nurtured by our ancestors. Indigo, which is darker than blue and lighter than navy blue, is an ancient Japanese beautiful color.
