◆ Description Indigo-dyed linen yukata This is a truly valuable work by Ayano Chiba, the only person recognized as a Living National Treasure in the world of indigo dyeing. Sei-ai Hiyazome (cold indigo dyeing) is the oldest dyeing technique in Japan, and the Chiba family of Kurikoma, Kurihara City, has passed down this technique. The Chiba family completely maintains the entire process of growing indigo from seed, making indigo balls, preparing the indigo dye, and dyeing the linen cloth. In particular, the indigo dyeing is characterized by fermentation at natural temperatures, and the dyeing period is only a short time in early summer. This is a rare and highly valuable work by Ayano Chiba, which is difficult to obtain.
