#10: Craft Stories – Samurai Indigo Blue

Step into a world of deep blue shadows and warrior spirit in this episode of Craft Stories. We explore the history and legend behind Japanese indigo dye, once beloved by samurai for both its beauty and its practicality.

Through a fictional yet poetic tale, we follow a young craftsman in feudal Japan, whose journey intertwines with the vivid hues of “Japan Blue.” After the story, Ryota shares the real-life craft behind it—the art of Aizome, its historical significance, and where you can still experience it today.
