Bengara dye is a natural pigment derived from earth and returning to earth.
It's an energy-efficient dyeing method requiring only a small amount of water.
You'll perform board-clamp shibori dyeing using Bengara dye: folding the fabric and clamping it with wooden boards.
This technique, used for yukata, creates continuous patterns through specific fabric folding and board combinations.
Staff will provide careful guidance, so beginners, children, and women can participate with confidence!
After the experience, relax with a drink and take a warm break.

★What You'll Dye
You'll dye an Ise cotton tenugui towel.
【The Beauty of Continuous Patterns via Board-Bound Shibori】
Folding the fabric like a folding screen before dyeing creates continuous patterns, resulting in a bold, modern impression.
Each step is done by hand, leading to unique effects like slight bleeding, blurring, and subtle pattern variations—an aesthetic born from chance, characteristic of hand-dyeing techniques.
【Choose Your Color Freely】
Select your favorite color from approximately 10 options to apply.
Your color choice dramatically changes the finished piece's atmosphere.
【Includes a Drink】
After the experience, relax with a drink and take a warm break.
Enjoy lively conversation with everyone, or take it slow with just the two of you.
