Two exhibitions was held at the Sogetsu Kaikan at the same time in May―the joint exhibition ‘Stone Garden: Indigo and Flowers’ by the Demura Tangasou Group was with ‘BUAISOU’, an atelier of indigo dye called Aizome, both of which have their bases in Tokushima prefecture and the special exhibition ‘Indigo and Akane’ by BUAISOU and Iemoto. The venue was thoroughly colored in indigo blue for the whole five days.
