This book from NHK Publishing delves into the history of Japanese indigo dyeing, including the cultural and social history of the craft. It explains the process of indigo dyeing and tells the 1500-year history of “Japan Blue.” Stories describing the importance of this practice are interspersed with striking photographs of modern and historic examples of indigo textiles in shades of rich blues. Both informative and eye catching, this book would be a valuable addition to any art book collection.
