This is very rare occasion that you can visit private atelier of a traditional Japanese indigo dyeing artist. You can learn and experience the world of true "Japan Blue", which is on the verge of distinct here in Mt. Fuji area.
The artist usually does not accept visitors for casual experience. She welcomes the visits on this program, which is designed and attended by local licensed guides who have been closely working with her. Through this program, she is hoping that "Japan Blue" be recognized by those who love traditional local cultures coexisting with ecosystem, and be given new life into the future.
Recently, "Japan Blue" experience programs are being made available as a tourism attraction at some shops in popular sightseeing spots. But what they are providing is specifically designed "attraction", NOT real life. In this program, you can experience the real life of "Japan Blue" artist.
If you are interested in real "Japan Blue", do not miss this special opportunity!
