Shoichi Chiba / Craftsman
Unlike standard indigo dyeing, which can be done year-round with added heat, the traditional "Shoai Hiyasome" of Kurihara in Miyagi Prefecture is one of Japan's oldest dyeing techniques, relying solely on natural fermentation without artificial heat. This process is only possible during a brief period in early summer. As this ancient technique declined after the Meiji era, it was preserved by the first-generation artisan Ayano Chiba, designated as a Living National Treasure, who maintained the traditional methods. Now, Shoichi Chiba carries on as the fourth-generation artisan, inheriting both the technique and the workshop. "Shoai Hiyasome", created using only natural materials, is known for its softness and beautiful coloration.
