    I was at his dying studio in February. Toru is an amazing artist. He had beautiful items drying and amazing items for sale. I have an appreciation of the attention to detail that he has in his craft. Unfortunately true indigo and shibori dying is becoming extinct. Primarily due to economic reasons. Indigo growers do not make a profit and the work is hard and crops are inconsistent. Plus there are only a few people who can tie the fabric to produce the beautiful designs. Much of that work is being outsourced to other countries.

      I was at Toru’s studio in February. He apprenticed another dyer’s studio in his twenties(if I remember correctly). He has no one to take over his studio. He does everything in the traditional method. Even having his dye pots in the ground to maintain consistent temperature. Toru has a son who worked with him and would hand it down to the son. However his son has other dreams.

    Прекрасный образец традиционного ремесла! Японцы очень чтят не только готовое изделие, но и процесс изготовления и мастера, который изготавливал продукт. Так что если мастер будет использовать современные средства защиты, о которых многие тут пишут, то процесс производства потеряет свою аутентичность. Я рад, что традиции чтятся. Нам этому стоит поучиться.

Я бы выразился так, разумный традиционализм, без перегибов. Еще удивительно то что продукты и веще полученные таки образом до сих пор в цене, ещё какой цене.....
