About the Indigo 藍 colorway
Indigo (ai) is the defining color of Japanese textiles. Cheap, hard-wearing and slightly antibacterial, aizome-dyed indigo clothed everyone from farmers to samurai, and visitors once dubbed it 'Japan blue'.
About Kanoko
Kanoko is a field of small tie-dyed dots that resemble the dappled back of a fawn.
The name refers to kanoko shibori, a painstaking tie-dye technique in which the cloth is bound dot by dot. Genuine all-over kanoko was extremely labour-intensive and therefore a mark of luxury in the Edo period.
