A greeting message from NDPC

Natural Dyes and Pigments Conference (NDPC) is an organization founded t

o foster research and development in natural dyes and pigments which are environmentally low-impact and biodegradable, and to promote the use of such dyes and pigments to the society at large. NDPC invites dye and pigment researchers and artists, as well as amateur dyers and craftworkers to our academic forums, seminars, workshops and exhibitions. Our activities are designed to promote the use of natural colors with consideration of the global environment, which include research and presentation on colors derived from natural sources, conservation of dye plants and natural pigments, and preservation activities of traditional techniques. We would like this conference to stimulate public awareness of natural dyes and pigments by presenting research and workshops, while serving as a platform of opportunity for professional development for NDPC members, both from Japan and abroad.
