Aizome Museum — Attraction in Tokyo

Quaint little neighborhood. We were there during the off season. Season starts in march. Small museum but you need to realize the significance of what you're looking at. 3 generations of family craftsmen cutting intricate paper patterns by hand and dying indigo in every traditional sense. We met the artist and with help of translation, He explained his craft And showed us his studio. Very personalized and friendly. he showed us a piece that was 150 years old that was done by his great grandfather. Much better than the commercial studios. ...

I met Fujisawa at the Sumida Hokusai Museum, where I attended a workshop for dye a small fabric :) He was super kind and even when we didn’t speak the same language he made its best to explain me! I feel sorry cause I couldn’t make it to his house/museum :( but I hope I can visit you next time I come to Tokio!!! And also hope that you read this!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Now my little scarf is here with me in...

Wonderful mini workshop experience to have a glimpse into Japanese craft and culture of Aizome dyeing and its application in history. Fujisawa san the third generation craftsman was very friendly and patient with teaching us. In addition if you ask in advance you can bring you own items for indigo dyeing for an extremely reasonable fee per item :)

Reservation is highly...
