Developed in the context of a village renewal project launched in 1989, Tomigusuku ūjizome is a type of textile that uses Okinawan sugarcane arrows and leaves as dyes. Depending on the season of harvest, the hue of the sugarcane dyes changes slightly, allowing for a characteristic natural feeling and color.
