"Shibori: Unveiling the Artistry of Japanese Textiles" Discover the captivating world of shibori, a traditional Japanese textile dyeing technique that has mesmerized generations. 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. Intriguingly, Voronoi patterns also make an appearance in shibori creations. These geometric tessellations add a modern twist to this traditional craft, merging past and present seamlessly.
