We are releasing a kit that includes a video explaining how to use our popular "Suzuka Color Ink."
Until now, color ink dyeing has only been offered in workshops, but with an increasing number of artisans incorporating dyeing into Tsumami Zaiku, many of you have probably seen it on social media and thought, "I want to try that myself."
However, dyeing fabric can seem a bit daunting or difficult, causing some hesitation.
For those individuals, we asked Ms. Matsumoto of Ichirindo Hanare (Fukuoka), who has extensive experience in color ink dyeing, to supervise the project.
Once you understand the techniques, you're sure to find it enjoyable!
At Ichirindo, we have specially commissioned "Suzuka Ink," a traditional craft from Mie Prefecture, to create color inks with a consistent concentration specifically for dyeing.
Suzuka Ink, beloved by many calligraphers, is not only known for its vibrant colors but also its high lightfastness, making it ideal for Tsumami Zaiku, which uses thin fabrics.
The kit includes a generous 50 pre-cut chirimen fabric pieces for dyeing.
It also comes with a single practice flower for dyeing after picking.
You can choose from 4 types of mini color ink bottles.
① Green, Moon, Orange
② Blue, Gold, Red
③ Sky, Silver, Elegance
④ Flower, Tree, Yellow, Sun
It includes the dyeing nylon brush used by all Tsumami Zaiku Association instructors.
It's a great deal, normally 1,200 yen (tax included), now 1,000 yen (tax included).
The kit comes with a QR code for the YouTube page.
Please try it out while watching the video repeatedly!
Additionally, for those who want to try different colors, we also sell mini color ink bottles separately.
Please use them together.
