Coal Drops Yard has commissioned BUAISOU for a series of handmade and hand dyed flags specifically for London Craft Week.

Located in Tokushima Prefecture, an area of Japan known for producing Awa indigo, BUAISOU does everything from indigo cultivation and creating dye to designing and making products.

The indigo dye of BUAISOU uses a traditional technique called Jigoku date (‘making hell’). Jigoku date involves mixing wood lye, bran and shell ash, followed by a fermentation process. This is one of the world’s most complex dye production processes

Indigo Hands Workshops

Kiosk N1C is hosting a series of workshops with BUAISOU where participants can learn natural Japanese indigo-dyeing techniques. Kiosk N1C is also the first UK stockist of BUAISOU’s clothing and homewares.

The workshops are just under two hours, and during that time participants will learn natural Japanese indigo-dyeing techniques and make a bandana to take home.
