Shurijo Castle Reconstruction Support – Minimal wallet sales using Ryukyu indigo dyeing

2021.06.17

October 31, 2019. Shuri Castle in Naha City, Okinawa, was completely destroyed by fire.
The fire at Shurijo Castle, which is also a symbol of Okinawa and a source of heart, gave the citizens a great sense of loss.
This time, as part of the Shurijo Castle reconstruction support project, the [fu ・ ku ・ sa] Ryukyu version is now on sale from M Style.

What is [fu ・ ku ・ sa / Ryukyu Aizen]?

[Fu ・ ku ・ sa] is a simple wallet that is as simple and functional as the ancient Japanese “Fukusa”, and gently “wraps” bills and cards using high-quality materials and skillful techniques.

The dark blue dyed with indigo is called “Japan Blue”. Among them, indigo dyeing in Okinawa is called “Ryukyu indigo” and is dyed from raw materials cultivated only in Okinawa in Japan.

It is very difficult to cultivate Ryukyu indigo plant to produce mud indigo, which is the source of dyes, and to control the quality of the mud indigo plant at a constant level. In addition, the production of the Ryukyu indigo leaf itself, which is the raw material, is limited, so Ryukyu indigo is a very rare material.

Iide Town, Yamagata Prefecture] “Submerged Forest of Lake Shirakawa,” a Mysterious Spring-Only Scene 

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
