✧What is Sei Aizome?✧ It is a method of making (building) a dyeing solution by adding only lye to ``Sukumo'', which is made by fermenting the leaves of the indigo plant, and fermenting it over time using only the power of microorganisms. After construction, we will take care of it with only lye, shellfish ash, and wheat bran. True indigo dyeing does not transfer color at all and fades easily, and has medicinal properties such as antibacterial, deodorizing, insect repellent, and UV protection. It also has a far-infrared effect, so it has excellent heat retention effects. This effect is said to be due to the presence of microorganisms in the dyed cloth.

There are other methods of indigo dyeing, such as using chemicals to easily build up the indigo dye, or adding glucose or starch syrup to quickly reduce the dye and dye a deep color in a short time. Indigo dyeing, which takes less time, may cause fading or transfer, and may not take advantage of the natural qualities of indigo. . I think so

Even if the materials used for indigo dyeing are returned to the soil, they do not pollute the earth. Above all, we respect this attractive dyeing method that has been passed down from ancient times. Ai is very gentle on the skin and I personally like it and use it regularly. I hope you can experience this good feeling♪
