This is a color sample book of 10 shades of Indigo and 10 Materials.
Two types of ramie, flax, hemp, kozo (paper mulberry), linden (Japanese linden), two types of cotton, silk, and wool. The common denominator is the choice of hand-woven fabrics. (Only one type of cotton is machine-woven.)
We have freely chosen 10 color names from the Heian period(794-1185) to modern times.
A data table showing the number of times dyed, the date of dyeing, and the age of the indigo vat are included.
