Japanese Indigo Blue Dye Studio

chizu blue

Local product

“chizu blue” is a business cooperative founded in 2005 by a group of women in Chizu Town, Tottori Prefecture, who hoped to create a local product with speciality.

Natural

We are proud of our own natural dye that we make in Chizu by growing from indigo seeds and fermenting the dried leaves.

Color

Our products are characterised by the beautiful Japanese indigo blue
created with clear water from our rich forest and our own method of
dye-making.

Our home

We deliver the products together with the senses of gentle breeze
through trees and streams in the forest, and relaxing clear blue
sky from our hometown.
