Japanese traditional indigo dyeing began to decline after the Industrial Revolution, as synthetic indigo gradually came to dominate textile production worldwide.
Against this shift, this quiet, breathtaking documentary follows a range of individuals who continue to rediscover indigo from new perspectives, while staying devoted to its traditional craft and natural process.
A subtle yet powerful reflection on our fast-paced lives, the film invites us on a quiet journey into Japanese nature and into the deep, living world of indigo.
