Indigo dying is an old Japanese tradition. The blue dye comes from the Japanese indigo plant called Persicaria tinctoria. I've done it a few times now but I think this is my first time taking pictures. I usually forget and it is a little hard anyway when your hands are covered in blue.
This time I wasn't really sure what to dye so I just did a white cloth. In the past I did a tote bag and also a scarf. I wanted to do shirts for everyone in my family but they said they wouldn't wear them, so I decided not to waste the money.
I forgot to get a picture beforehand but you can picture a white rectangle.
