BUAISOU.
BUAISOU. is an indigo artisanal collective that includes an indigo dye farm and dying workshop. Founded in 2012 by two Japanese indigo farmers and dyers, Kenta Watanabe and Kakuo Kaji, the partners develop hand-dyed fabrics, fashion accessories, and home textiles to order. The BUAISOU. team are the first of the Tokushima indigo collective to bring the ‘Indigo farm to closet’ concept into the 21st century. Their mission is to bring the master dyer Kakuo Kaji’s workshop from the farm in Japan to Brooklyn, introducing hands on Indigo workshops to the local community. BUAISOU are creating an educational program in Brooklyn, where Kaji and Watanabe will recreate traditional Japanese ‘hell vats’ with sukumo shipped directly from the farm in Tokushima. Now a team of four artisans, BUASOU. is preserving the tradition of Japanese indigo, striving to bring new vitality to “Japan Blue,” through artistic and functional creations.
