常盤紺型染モザイクウォール

Wall tiles adorned with traditional Tokiwa Kon Gatazome indigo dye patterns

"Tokiwa Kon Gatazome" reproduces the beauty of Kasuri and Shibori patterns through stencil dyeing.The traditional dyeing technique passed down since the Edo period, is still preserved at the Natoriya Dyeing Factory and used for practical items like Tenugui hand towels.This traditional pattern is used as a design motif, expressed through mosaic tiles.By incorporating the traditional dyeing techniques widely passed down in Miyagi and Tohoku into its designs,it brings the art of dyeing closer to everyday life.
