It is an eco-friendly plant dyeing that uses the branches and leaves cut by pruning the apple tree and the apple itself as the material. You can create various colors such as pale pink, orange, brown, and gray depending on the part used and the dyeing agent (the composition is secret ♪). Heavy snowfall in 2011. The snow broke many apple branches and caused great damage over the next few years before recovery. In front of the mountain of broken branches, 11 mothers who were active in the "Masuda District Life Research Group" stood up.
