Tokyo Permanent Exhibition Hall “Indigo Promotion Month” Special Exhibition of Tokushima Prefecture LED-Applied Products & More　~”Modern Aizome Indigo Dying Exhibition” and “Shikoku University Blue 2@Tokushima Project Introduction Exhibition” (Linked Project)~

Awa Ai Indigo became most prosperous from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period, and was the largest specialty product of Awa (past name of Tokushima). Due to its cultural background, the development of products incorporating Ai Indigo in Tokushima still remains strong.

At this “Modern Aizome Indigo Dying Exhibition”, pieces will be displayed that show the traditional beauty of Aizome Indigo Dying, with a modern twist. Modern arrangements that have been born by using traditional Ai Indigo and through new challenges will be on display.

In collaboration with this event, the “Shikoku University Blue 2@Tokushima Project”, which is engaged in activities and research that works to create new value for Ai Indigo and LEDs, will also have a display that shows the techniques needed for Ai Indigo items as well as the wonder of Awa Ai Indigo.
