Indigo Fresh Leaf Dyeing Experience
藍の生葉染め体験
The "Fresh Indigo Leaf Dyeing Experience" event will be held at Nishikori Park. Here, you can use dye extracted from freshly harvested indigo leaves to try your hand at tie-dyeing a handkerchief with your own design. Each participant will receive one handkerchief, creating a unique item found nowhere else in the world. An instructor will teach you the dyeing technique step by step, so even beginners can easily enjoy the activity. In addition to the dyeing area, the venue features exhibitions about indigo and traditional culture, as well as simple workshops. There's also a picnic area where you can relax and spend time with family and friends. As a special feature for this event, there is an optional experience that allows you to pick fresh indigo leaves on the spot. This rare opportunity to handle the material directly is something you won't get to experience often. Since you are visiting, we recommend enjoying the entire process from picking the indigo leaves to dyeing. It will be a special day where nature and Japanese tradition come together.
