At Furusyo Dye factory<\/a> (\u53e4\u5e84\u67d3\u5de5\u5834), one of the artisan, Michiko Furusyo has kindly showed us the workspace and their k\u00fcpe and explained us how to prepare different types of shibori, together with beautiful samples and rare shibori books as references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is their k\u00fcpe. They also have 4 k\u00fcpe as one group and each of them has a different state of indigo inside (some are younger, some are older). We dyed with the first one on the left, which is already 6 months old and is the first step k\u00fcpe. She explained that the first dip is to bring the fabric to the Alkaly environment and it is not so much of a coloring yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this factory, they do not remove the indigo bubble\/flower when dying. She said, it is ok to remove it or not\u2026 but as we are dying small things, it is not necessary and if not necessary, she will not do the extra work of removing it. Yes, very practical! She also hangs a basket in the k\u00fcpe and dying takes place in this basket. The bubbles are outside of the basket so it does not interfere with the fabric one is dying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
