Almost spring.  There is a blue Nankeen exhibition hall in Shanghai located in a 1930´s villa,  it holds a permanent exhibition of a vanishing craft. The visit to the exhibition marks the first step for factory-tshirt.net to explore the traditional indigo print method in China.  While staying true to the original method factory-tshirt.net imagines the traditional patterns of flowers to be replaced by skyscrapers, butterflies by magnetic levitation vehicles and grass by crowds of people.  Here the white T-shirt project explores the possibility of combining traditional methods with our customers imaginations.

春間近。晴れの日。上海藍印花布館訪問。藍布に舞う草花、ちょうちょ。なくなりつつある昔ながらの技法。しろいTシャツに藍の施しを。
