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 Ryusuimon
Ryusuimon depicts flowing water as soft, curling streams and eddies.
Flowing-water motifs run through Japanese art from the Heian period onward, often combined with seasonal flowers such as iris or chrysanthemum. The supple lines were a favourite on kimono, screens and lacquer.
