This ancient art form, dating back to the Meiji and Taisho periods in Japan (1868-1926), continues to enchant with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors. One remarkable example is the Woman Overrobe Uchikake, a masterpiece from c. 1900/16 whose creator remains unknown. Its delicate design showcases the meticulous craftsmanship behind Arimatsu shibori, a renowned style characterized by its exquisite woodblock prints.
