The Development Story of Wa Bi. Wa Bi was brought into being by an encounter with a beautiful shining metal dyed with the distinctive Awa-Ai indigo, also known as “Japan Blue.” Meanwhile, Tulip has been producing crochet hooks that are both highly functional and stylistically beautiful, based on the technical capabilities of its craftsmen that have been cultivated and refined over the years. What if we were to enhance the beauty of our dignified tools by rendering them in this graceful Japan Blue? The joy of crocheting for the handicrafter will then surely be intensified by using them. This is how Tulip came up with the idea of Wa Bi. This product comes in an exclusive set—Wa Bi, with other carefully examined and selected handcrafted items that Japan is so rightly proud of.
