First: Adding alkaline liquid
Sukumo can’t melt into water, so Sukumo becomes liquidized by adding alkaline liquid. The cobalt colored bubbles rise to the surface. Then we can dye.

Second: Dying
Put the white cloth into the indigo liquid. Then, the cloth is put out in the air until the dye is sufficiently aired. Like this, the cloth is dyed and aired over and over again.

Third: Drying
The dyed cloth is rinsed thoroughly and then allowed to dry.
INDIGOTIN contained in the indigo-dye vat is oxidized whenever the materials are dipped in the solution then exposed to air. The leaves are finely cut, dried and fermented by spreading water over them again and again until they produce the dyestuff. The idyllic tone of indigo is an example of our traditional craftsmanship and represents one of the products of this area.
