I just had to share this video that the V&A have put on YouTube: In Search of Forgotten Colours – Sachio Yoshioka and the Art of Natural Dyeing.
Sachio Yoshioka runs the family dye workshop in Fushimi, southern Kyoto. Since 1988, he has only used plants and other natural materials for his extensive range of beautiful colours.
Although the video is informative, I like just watching the yards of beautiful colours go by…
