March Cherry Blossoms
The cherry blossom is said to be the sacred tree of Konohanasakuyahime-no-Mikoto, the daughter of the mountain god. Strangely enough, the color of the cherry blossom comes not from the petals but from the trunk and branches. Feel the spring through dyeing while feeling gratitude for the life that the cherry tree has accumulated.

5月 茜
5月は茜を染めます。根で染める茜は、大地にしっかりと根ざしたような赤色に染まることから「母性の色」と私たちは呼んでいます。さまざまな効能があることから古より薬としても用いられてきました。季節の変わり目に身も心も癒される染めのひとときをお過ごしください。
