A Length of Shibori Dyed Cotton: Arrow Feathers

early to mid twentieth century
25 1/2" x 12", 65 cm x 30.5 cm

This is a length of indigo dyed cotton shibori that was produced in Arimatsu, one of the towns in Aichi prefecture that was a leading producer and innovator in the production of shibori. 

The pattern shows a design of over sized stitched shibori designs that form two versions of the traditional Japanese image of the arrow feather motif.

The shibori is dyed onto a length of commercially loomed, fairly lightweight cotton and is in good, used condition.

Wonderful to look at!
