And a little history of indigo dyeing.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indigo dyeing is a method of dyeing fabrics using a plant called “Tadeai” and dyed cloth. It is said to be the oldest dyeing method in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was introduced to Japan from China via the Korean Peninsula in the Nara period (710-794) and became very popular from the Edo period (1603-1868) onward. It is said that all kinds of fabrics were dyed with indigo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the late Meiji period (1868-1912), “indo-ai,” which is cheap and can be dyed well, emerged, and the demand for domestically produced “tade-ai” went into decline. Currently, chemically synthesized indigo dye, which is inexpensive and can be mass-produced, is the mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the indigo gradient.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blue has a calming and relaxing effect, and indigo, also in the blue family, has the most calming effect of all the colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also strongly related to the endocrine system and is said to be a color that relieves low thyroid function, headaches, backache, and other pains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s going to be a healing time in many ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
