$35.00 USD
early to mid twentieth century
54" x 13 1/2", 137 cm x 34.25 cm
Taiten shibori is a type of shibori where the length of cloth is compressed along a series of stiff warp yarns before it is dyed.
The result of this process is as you see here: a series of small, regularly spaced blips of indigo that dot the entire length of this lightweight cotton, which was taken from a yukata or an unlined, casual kimono.
This length of taiten shibori shows some ingrained creases from its time as a kimono and there are very faint zones of fading.
A wonderful length of taiten shibori cloth in a classic, straightforward pattern.
