On a trip to Japan, I visited a museum about the production of indigo dye. We were able to try out dyeing our own small piece of fabric and to visit the display of antique pieces used in clothing and the home.
Beside the display and the experience of trying out the dye, I noticed that the guide had on a most interesting shirt. It was a beautiful indigo cotton with an unusual pattern. I asked if I could photograph her. Much later, I used the photo to analyze it and draw a pattern:
This pattern was drawn using a simple little computer program called Super Paint. Too bad it is outdated now. It was great for making black and white drawings.
