It all started with the desire to create something for myself and my friends.
Especially when new things are born, something interesting and new should be born from pure and natural triggers.
Masking tape is applied to clothes made from 19th-century antique linen one by one, and the specially made blue indigo dye is applied in layers.
It takes a lot of time and effort for a single person to create one piece at a time.
Precisely because they are handmade, warm and gentle clothes are born.
The more you wear this dress, the more unique colors and textures it creates.
Every time you wear it, a new attachment springs up, making it a special piece for yourself.
Even if I feel like I want three of the same thing, I don't think it's strange at all.
Because all three of them show different faces.

The sumi-zome is fixed in a liquid based on pine soot ink. For the black border, gesso mixed with chalk is applied to the bottom of the border, and the black part above is a mixture of pine soot ink and chalk. Before dyeing, I make a border first and then dye it about 4 times.

Regarding Indigo Border...
The harvested indigo leaves are placed in a tank, filled with water and allowed to fully ferment under the scorching sun, then slaked lime is added and stirred to incorporate air to extract the indigo component (= indigo).
After several days, the indigo pigment that has settled under the tank is taken out. (= Mud indigo)
Indigo paint is made by mixing the mud indigo that is taken out with gofun, a traditional Japanese painting material (= powder made from crushed shells) and animal glue.
Just like a painting canvas, gesso is applied to the vintage fabric in a border shape, and the indigo from earlier is applied over and over again.
Therefore, when worn, the border is hard, but the more you use it, the more it will look like cracks.
