Today, traditional plant dyeing is attracting attention once again. Maito Design Works has challenged for the first time to dye with "algae" with the pride of craftsmanship.
What kind of works will be created when "plant dyeing," which enriches people's lives with the wide array of colors of plants, and "algae," which supports a new industry, meet? We look forward to your support!

100 Crafts Challenges Vol.2 "Possibility of Craft x Dyeing" ---Dreaming of the day when we dye thread and wear clothes with algae-dyeing.
The second trial of "100 Crafts Challenges", which started with the idea of increasing the number of algae products in familiar places, is a collaboration with "plant dyeing"! In this age of plenty, Maito Design Works says they want to create products that value Japanese traditions, craftsmanship, and nature that provide us with blessings. What kind of works will be created when they meet "algae," a natural material that supports a new industry? The collaboration was realized with the idea that if threads were dyed, they became cloth, and if they became cloth, "algae" would be more familiar.
If you dye cloth, then they have to be something you can wear in everyday life!
Dyeing with algae is unprecedented after all, so I want to ask a dyer who is always up for challenges.
Algae sounds interesting! I've dyed all kinds of plants and trees, but I've never tried with that.
Hey! Why don’t you use my blue? Here you go!
Wow! What a stunning blue!
Wait, not just Spiru's blue! I wonder what kind of green I can be.
Sounds fantastic! Well, you two, go ahead, will you? I can't wait to see what unexpected colors you will turn.
Yes, I think you both will turn great colors.
Then let's make the best one with my skill and the inherent beauty of yours.
Wonderful! I can be a beautiful dress someday ✨
I can't wait to see what colors we will be!
