日本之行 ~ 21。08 [火曜日] ~ 制紙工坊 Day 5

Mrs Fujimori desmostrating
the Shibori method.
Day 5
Continued paper drying and Indigo dyeing 藍印花布

The colour was green and not blue after soaking the paper into the Indigo dye for a minium of 5 mins. It only changed to the desired Indigo blue after oxidation occurred when in contact with water. Thus the dyed paper has to be gently washed in the water for a while to let it oxidized evenly.

The Indigo dye was quite smelly but worth it for the beautiful blue.



The following shown ways of making the patterns.



This is Mr.Hisayoshi Ishihara, a director of Awagami Factory. A friendly gentleman who loves to meet people. Also wanna thank him for the delicious sweet potatoes.

Today's also the last day of the workshop. Sad that it ended but glad that we ‘graduated’ with a certificate to boost.😀 Though as what Mr. Fujimori said, we are beginners in making basic papers and still a long way to perfect our skills. はい!
今天是工作坊的最後一天。雖然不捨,可我們也算畢業了,還有證書拿。如Mr.Fujimori所言,我們只學會了最基本的,接下來還有很長的路要走呢。 加油!


We’re blessed with a beautiful rainbow on our way back to hotel💪
