"Organic Wind" - 100 colors of natural fabrics swaying in the breeze

At Harunire Terrace, they will be hosting "Organic Wind," an installation featuring fabrics dyed in 100 colors using naturally derived materials, swaying in the breeze. This year, they will also be offering a forest tour called "A Moist Forest Stroll During the Rainy Season," led by a nature guide from Picchio.

The fabric I used for decoration last year has been re-dyed.An installation of 100 colors swaying in the wind

The colorful fabrics were dyed with natural materials harvested in Nagano Prefecture. From the yellow of the spicebush that heralds spring, to the delicate azalea, and the pale purple of the Japanese anemone that blooms in the summer forest, the fabrics, imbued with the stories of Karuizawa's wildflowers, create a beautiful gradient. By re-dyeing the fabrics that were also displayed last year, they have gained more depth and a softer texture.

A nature tour of Picchio"A leisurely stroll through the forest during the rainy season"

We'll also introduce you to some great photo spots along the river, and finally, enjoy a herbal tea blended with wild plants at Ikaru Cafe. This approximately 40-minute tour starts at Harunire Terrace and follows the river to Ikaru Cafe at the entrance to the Wild Bird Forest. Enjoy this tour even in rainy weather.
