Recycling that starts from kitchen waste, Kyoto Indigo Dyeing Experience Tour

Recycling that starts from kitchen waste, Kyoto Indigo Dyeing Experience Tour

The Kyoto indigo industry crumbled during the Taisho era (1912-1926). This project aims to revive it with hands-on experiences of dyeing with Kyoto indigo. Kitchen waste from ordinary households is composted using LFC composting, and the unused compost is collected and used for growing Kyoto indigo.
