Japanese blue dyed ancient cloth series

Indigo-dyed ancient cloth first appeared in the Meiji era in Japan, using the traditional Japanese dyeing technique Katazome. The weaving, plate-making, printing and dyeing of its textiles, as well as the spinning of cotton are all done by craftsmen. Traditional Katazome designs have different patterns, such as flowers...birds...etc...different shades of indigo dyeing have their own names, which is very interesting.
