2011.9.15 – 19: Indigo Exhibition at Babaghuri shop


Photo by Jurgen Lehl

From the 15th to 19th we are showing textiles and clothing
that are using indigo dyes.
In recent months Manami Okazaki has been travelling to China, Laos,
Indonesia, Vietnam and Myanmar looking for these very good examples
of fabrics using weaving and dying techniques which are quickly disappearing.
To get an idea of what Minami Okazaki has been collecting
please look at this slide show.

– all dyed with indigo.
