( book )

A concept book for (terroir).

(terroir) handles everything from indigo cultivation and the production of sukumo dye, to indigo dyeing, product planning, and sales.

The process, from soil preparation to the finished product, is long, complex, and difficult to understand.
Moreover, the result of all this effort is "color," which is an ambiguous thing.
However, we feel there is great potential in this hard-to-grasp and ambiguous "color."

With these thoughts in mind, we wrote the text ourselves and compiled it into a book.

We hope this book will be an opportunity for you to grow to love (terroir).

Specifications: B5 altered size, 64 pages, color, thread-bound (*The book is bound with leftover threads from product manufacturing. Color cannot be chosen.)
