| Publisher Description: The long-awaited collection by Japan's leading expert of indigo dyeing―Shihoko Fukumoto. Indigo dyeing (aizome) is a Japanese traditional dyeing technique with deep rich color ("Japan Blue") and unique features. JAPAN BLUE is a collection of Shihoko Fukumoto's dyeing works from 1977 to 2015. Having her own aesthetic value, "seeking the ideal spatial consciousness," she succeeded in integrating traditional craftsmanship and indigo dyeing, with a contemporary sense of beauty. Fukumoto's indescribable work has not only brought her a remarkable reputation worldwide as a foremost figure of indigo dyeing, but has brought her recognition as a leading craftsman as well. The hemp cloth dyed by Fukumoto herself is used for the back page of the book. |
