About This Piece

• Era: Mid-20th century vintage
• Technique: Shibori (絞り染め, tie-dyeing)
• Origin: Japan

Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique. Sections of the fabric are hand-bound, folded, or stitched before dyeing, so the undyed areas form delicate patterns. Examples of Shibori dyeing are preserved among the 8th-century Shōsōin treasures in Nara, showing it to be one of Japan's long-handed-down textile techniques. A single piece can take weeks to complete, and the distinctive three-dimensional texture — which cannot be replicated by machine — emerges naturally from the artisan's hand-binding process itself.

A striking piece in which white linear patterns and yellow and orange floral motifs stand out against a deep green ground. Its bold design, evoking abstract leaves and flowers, feels modern while conveying the warmth of nature.
