It is love that makes the chest hot. It is indigo that makes summer cool. An indigo dyeing event will be held at Filmerange.

The temperature was 37 degrees Celsius. In the heat that makes me want to hug the air conditioner, I wonder how people in the distant past, when there were no air conditioners or fans, kept cool.

The water sprinkled on the streets and the bamboo screens on the eaves of the roofs will help relieve the heat, and the sound of wind chimes and fireworks will soothe your ears.

I think it was because technology was not as advanced as it was in those days that people used their wits and ingenuity to feel the cool air with their five senses, such as their skin and ears.

Perhaps the same is not true of vision.

One cannot help but feel a sense of coolness when looking at the vivid indigo color, which reminds one of clear water.

As a preface, FilMelange will hold an indigo dyeing event at its directly-managed stores, using a traditional indigo dyeing technique called "lye-fermentation construction.
