300 years ago, there was a haiku poet named Matsuo Basho in Japan.

Among his exceptional ten disciples, one of them composed a haiku when he traveled from Tokyo to Kyoto 320 years ago.

“Surrounding Shimabara in Kyoto were fields of indigo.”

At that time, Shimabara was located next to Rakusai in Kyoto.

This valuable haiku indicates that Rakusai in Kyoto was a significant indigo-producing region.

After more than 300 years, it has reached me, carrying the depth of history within itself, and I will continue to create things and colors that only I can produce, bearing the weight of culture on my shoulders.
