Indigo dye comes with a unique, striking blue color, and it has a long history in Japan. A special exhibition taking place at the Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum will look into indigo dyeing and weaving techniques from all around the world, with a special focus on the ancient indigo manufacturing method and its background in Okinawa. The event will also showcase a variety of dyed and woven products that were created using Okinawa indigo.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1000 yen.
