[September Workshop - Experience the Light of Hakushu] Color and Words Newsletter 2025 No. 14

After a few days in September, you can gradually feel the coming of autumn even amidst the heat. Why not experience the blessings of the seasons and plants through dyeing and weaving, along with colors reminiscent of chrysanthemums and moonlight, and spend some relaxing time in the gallery? We look forward to your participation in this experience, which will help you forget the lingering heat, even if just for a moment.

[Setagaya] Dyeing and Weaving Workshop - Kariyasu -

Kariyasu is a plant that grows abundantly on mountain slopes and in fields, and has been used since ancient times as a valuable yellow dye. In Shimura dyeing, it also plays an important role as a base dye for indigo. The fact that "Kariyasu" has become established as a color name is perhaps a reflection of its long history of popularity. Please see for yourself with your own hands and eyes how it differs from the yellows obtained from other dyes, and how the color evokes the long autumn nights.
