Yukihito Kanai
Textile dyer Yukihito Kanai was born in 1979 in Amami Oshima. He is the second-generation proprietor of Kanai Kougei, specializing in dorozome (mud dyeing) and other traditional natural dyeing techniques used to make Oshima Tsumugi. Yukihito ventures beyond the concept of a traditional craft, however, and explores new values of dyeing by working with materials other than fabric, such as bone and coral, and collaborating with creators and fashion labels.
