Rihei, the owner of this dyehouse, started keeping koi carp when there was no work for the Corona pandemic. Those Koi have grown up and are now happily welcoming overseas customers.
この染物工場の代表・河合利平は、コロナのパンデミックの時期に鯉を飼い始めた。それらの鯉は今は大きくなり、海外のお客様を楽しそうに泳ぎながら迎えてくれている。
You can look at those koi and then dye your own koi design on white cloth in multiple colors of your choice.
あなたも、この泳ぐ鯉を見てインスピレーションを得ながら、世界に1枚しかないあなた色の鯉を染めることができる。
The carp rising up the waterfall is a popular motif in Japanese art as it is a symbol of success in life.
滝を昇る鯉は、立身出世のシンボルで、日本のアートでよく用いられてきたモチーフだ。
The white cloth is already coated with a paste made of rice for dye-proofing so that the outline lines of the carp will remain clean later.Therefore, it does not look messy and the result is clean.
白い布の上に防染用のお米でできたペースト状のものが施してあり、鯉のアウトラインはあとでこのペーストを洗い流すことによってくっきり白く残る。だから、いくら筆で塗る時に染料がはみ出してしまっても、最後はクリーンな仕上がりになる。
It does not necessarily have to be dyed in the color of real carp. Blue, green, or purple koi are also cool.
本物の鯉の色にとらわれず、好きな色で染めてみて。青や緑、紫の鯉がいたっていいじゃない?
Rihei, an expert in dyeing, will be your sensei, guiding you through the process.
技術的なことについては、染のエキスパートである利平が先生となって丁寧に指導。
The workshop room is a very bright and pleasant space with natural light shining in.
ワークショップルームは自然光が差し込むとても気持ちのいい空間。リラックスして下さい。
