In this book, eight different modern Japanese textile colorists share their stories and practices. From Ibaraki to Fukuoka, artists are pictured at work and in their homes offering insights into the history of dyeing. Artists use natural materials like cherry bark and bell pepper leaves, and demonstrate how they make silk thread and weave elegant tapestries. This book includes step by step instructions for how to create dye at home from onion skin, and how to successfully dye your own clothes.
