Gojiru is a mixture of soybeans, kelp and water which is brushed onto fabric before dye is applied. This keeps the colors vibrant and reduces the appearance of those annoying streaks that occur when painting large patches of fabric. (Used for direct dyes, not fiber reactive dyes).
Dried Kelp
Add Water
Heat until desolved
Soak Soybeans for at least 4 hours
Blend until smooth - like soy milk!
Squeeze through cheesecloth
Mix kelp water with soy milk together and voila - gojiru!
Paint onto rozome piece before dyeing.
