What a pity we're in the UK not the US. A new film about indigo was premiered there, on 6 July, featuring Hiroyuki Shindo, a contemporary Japaneses textile artist and master of indigo. The highlight is the filming of the whole process of making and using a fermentation vat.
This lovely little blog give a glimps of what might be expected in the film: http://kyototrip.blogspot.com/2010/10/hiroyuki-shindo-and-little-indigo.html
Notes from the sketchbooks and archives of a dyer and her friends.
