Yukihito Kanai runs KANAI KOUGEI and inherits the mud-dyeing techniques handed down in the Amami Oshima island to the present day. Not bounded by the framework of traditional crafts, he creates unique natural dye products at his own mud dye workshop at Amami Oshima island.
Yukihito Kanai also participated and exhibited his works as Mud Dye craftsman during MONO JAPAN 2017 and MJ ONLINE AIR. This special workshop uses Amami Oshima Yeddo Hawthorn and mud in the dye processes. Due to the unique smell of mud dyeing, the workshop will be held outdoors thanks to the cooperation of Mediamatic, who have kindly provided the venue.
