京都・蝋纈染め
Interior of a Dyeing Shop in Kyoto, Japan. In less than three hours, visitors can create their own indigo-colored T-shirt, towel or decorative item.
Roketsu is one of Kyoto’s traditional textile dyeing methods which is also known as wax-resist dyeing. Wax is applied on a cotton fabric to leave a design, and when the fabric is dyed in indigo, the area applied with wax blocks the dye and leaves the original fabric color.
