What is "阿波正藍染 outlet Awa Masa Aizome" ?
Indigo dyeing in Tokushima Prefecture became prosperous in this area in the Edo period with the encouragement of Hachisuka Yoshishige, the feudal lord of Awa. The indigo in this area is called "Shoai" because of its good quality, and the indigo in other areas is called "Indigo" and has been prized all over the country. There is also "Namahazome" dyeing with fresh leaves as an indigo dyeing method, but indigo dyeing in Tokushima Prefecture is dyed with Awa indigo as a raw material by a method called "fermentation".
Indigo is not a single color, but is created from various colors such as blue, red, purple, and black.
Since it is not possible to dye a dark color at once, the process of dyeing, squeezing, and drying is repeated many times. In general, it is said that the original color of Awa Shoai-zome comes out after washing with water about 30 times, but each time it is washed with water, the unharmonious color is removed and a deep color is created. It is. In addition, the unique scent, which is said to have an insect repellent effect, increases its taste with each season and gives the wearer peace of mind.
In 1968, it was designated as an intangible cultural property of the prefecture as the "Awa Shoai Dyeing Method", and Awa Shoai Dyeing is a dyed product that is refined in daily life.
