Plan description

Would you like to experience Fukugi dyeing, a unique Okinawan technique? As the name suggests, plant dyeing is done by extracting dyes from "grass leaves, flowers, and trees" to dye fabric. The colors are more colorful than you would imagine from the name "plants." Fukugi is used as a windbreak in Okinawa, and can dye fabric a "bright yellow." It is also famous as a tree from which the yellow dye for bingata is harvested. Leaves are harvested and boiled over a bonfire for dyeing. Savor the time it takes for the color to be extracted. You can take home what you dyed. Our staff will explain everything carefully, so it's safe for beginners, children, and women! ★What to bring Please come empty-handed. ★What to dye We will dye a tenugui. (You can also purchase a tote bag separately and dye it.) [Optional T-shirts and tote bags can be purchased. ] In addition to what you bring with you, we also have T-shirts and tote bags available. T-shirts 1,500 yen (tax included) Tote bags 800 yen (tax included)

Experience dyeing unique to Okinawa

Fukuki trees are a familiar presence to the people of Okinawa. While dyeing with Fukuki trees, you can take your time and have your host share some interesting facts about Okinawan plants and the culture and lifestyle of the Okinawan people.

boil over a bonfire

It takes a lot of time and effort, but while we work over the firewood to slowly extract the dye, we can enjoy a relaxed chat while gazing out at the ocean.

Unique and original patterns can be added

You can make tenugui with original patterns using a variety of techniques, such as howa-shibori and itajime-shibori. Your own original that you won't find anywhere else! As a good souvenir of Okinawa!
