The art of indigo

In Japanese culture, indigo dye—known as aizome—holds deep symbolic and practical significance. Traditionally associated with purity, protection, and resilience, indigo was widely used in clothing for farmers, artisans, and even samurai, valued for its natural antibacterial properties and rich hue.

Maharishi's indigo-dyed styles include hemp-cotton, hand-machine-embroidered jeans, as well as utility shirts, hats, and track pants featuring the DPM: Bosai Forest Sparse pattern applied as a textured overlay.
