About
Sukumo indigo and its dye vat preparation are centuries-old practices developed in Japan by Ai-shi, the indigo farmer–sukumo maker. The work and art of Ai-shi are extremely rigorous and time-consuming. Today, only five to six aging master Ai-shi remain. Thus, the supply of sukumo is scarce.
Now Kenta Watanabe carries on the “seed to dye” sukumo indigo-making tradition. He has hatched the Japanese Sukumo Indigo Starter Kit product to give contemporary textile artists an opportunity to care for the microorganisms in a sukumo indigo vat at home to enjoy totally organic blue colors.
Kenta Watanabe is a next-gen ai-shi: indigo farmer, Sukumo indigo maker, and dyer based in Tokushima, Japan. Kenta sought an apprenticeship with Osamu Nii, a sixth-generation master ai-shi. Rowland Riketts, also apprenticed with Nii.
