In a lifestyle that is close to nature, ERiNi grows an indigo plant named ‘Onokoro Ai’ (おのころ藍).

Through an ancient Japanese method of indigo dyeing by microbial fermentation, this plant is then used to create a dye that takes a year to make.

The earth’s gifts are used as colours to create and illuminate a harmonious space.
