What is "natural indigo lye fermentation"?

The leather material used in our products is carefully hand-dyed one by one at the Aizomeya indigo dyeing workshop in the naturally rich Minamisatsuma city of Kagoshima prefecture.

Using a traditional method called "natural indigo lye fermentation" that has been passed down since before the mid-Edo period, the dye is made by fermenting the raw material, sukumo, from Tokushima in a jar for about 10 days. No chemicals or chemical dyes (synthetic indigo) are added for color matching, mass production, or efficiency, as is commonly done in the dyeing process.

Dyeing artisans rely on their experience and intuition to manage the materials daily according to the climate and conditions, and by communicating with living indigo, they create the beauty of a natural indigo color with depth. Due to the spread of synthetic indigo from around the early Meiji period, it is said that there are only a handful of dyers in Japan who faithfully adhere to this traditional method of dyeing with 100 % natural ingredients, making it extremely rare and valuable.
