Indigo Furoshiki : Wild Edible Plants of Japan

Sale Price:$100.00 Original Price:$200.00
sold out

A collaborative project by ainisomatte x kamado stories

The furoshiki, a traditional Japanese square cloth, has been utilized for wrapping and carrying for centuries. With its diverse folding and tying methods, it combines aesthetics and practicality. These cloths were dyed using natural indigo (ai 藍), a color with deep roots in Japanese culture, known for protection and medicinal attributes. Historically, indigo has been used on fabric for its antibacterial, skin-soothing, and insect-repelling qualities.

・

Melanie from ainisomatte dyed the cloths using a traditional Japanese method involving a 15-month process, which begins with growing indigo plants from seeds and culminates in creating a living dye vat through fermentation.

The print, designed by Monica from kamado stories, highlights Japan's commonly foraged wild foods known as sansai (山菜). These edible plants are woven into Japan's everyday food culture and enjoyed by many in seasonal dishes.

Learn more about the project here. You'll also find a chart with the names of all the plants featured in the design!

・

This textile can be enjoyed on the wall as an art piece, or tied up into many ways and used as a furoshiki. Due to the nature of natural indigo dyes, please expect to see fading with use and prolonged direct sunlight.

Material: Linen (slightly sheer quality)

Size: Aprox. 90 cm x 90 cm

There are slight variations in print and color with each furoshiki. Every one of them is unique, perfectly imperfect, made intentionally with our hands. This is a limited run print, available while quantities last.
