Shades of Indigo
Directed by Shigeru Yoshida
The indigo dyeing technique is rarely seen outside of Japan. Smell, taste, sound... the delicate sensibilities of highly honed craftsmen have been passed down from generation to generation, and "Japanese Blue" has been preserved to this day. The camera follows the artisans fascinated by indigo dyeing and catches glimpses of the colors and the memories that have been passed down through the generations among the artisans.
