Spotlight: Shibori (絞り) Hikizuri On The Eight Day of Fun I present... a look at one of the most dynamic types of kimono found in the karyukai: shibori kimono! Worn in the coldest months of the year (December - March) due to their thickness, shibori hikizuri are among the most fabulous and expensive types of kimono found in the karyukai. Shibori (絞り) is Japanese tie dyeing and is extremely labor intensive. The most popular type of shibori is called Kanoko (鹿の子); translated as "Deer/Fawn Spots," they're made up of tiny circles that are hand tied, one-by-one, to make fabulous and intricate patterns. In the karyukai, the most popular motif for shibori is flowers (it is the flower and willow world after all!). In these examples we can see chrysanthemums, wisteria, cherry blossoms, and more! The best time to see these beauties in real life is in December during Kaomise Soken and in February during Setsubun; this is where maiko dress up in their finest, and there's no finer kimono than a shibori one!

Tie and Dye Traditions Across India: A Kaleidoscope of Colors

India, a land of vibrant cultures and diverse traditions, is also a treasure trove of tie and dye techniques that have adorned fabrics for centuries. From the intricate bandhani tie-dye of Rajasthan to the mesmerizing leheriya prints of Rajasthan and Gujarat, and the delicate shibori tie-dye of Japan, these techniques create a kaleidoscope of colours and patterns that are both timeless and captivating.

Experience the magic of bandhani, leheriya, and shibori tie-dye—where each knot, twist, and fold creates a symphony of colours and patterns.

Bandhani Tie-Dye: Rajasthan's Art of Knotting

Bandhani tie-dye, a traditional technique, finds its roots in the colourful state of Rajasthan. Artisans skillfully create intricate patterns by tying small portions of fabric with threads before dyeing. The result is a stunning display of dots and circles, each one meticulously crafted. Bandhani fabrics, with their vibrant hues and distinctive patterns, are a celebration of Rajasthan's rich heritage.

Leheriya Prints: Waves of Color from Rajasthan and Gujarat

Leheriya, meaning "waves" in Hindi, is a tie-dye technique that creates beautiful rippled patterns resembling the flow of water. Originating in Rajasthan and also practised in Gujarat, leheriya fabric is characterized by its vibrant colours and wavy designs. Each piece tells a story of skilled craftsmanship, with artisans using a technique of tie-dyeing along the diagonal lines of the fabric.

Shibori Tie-Dye: Japan's Intricate Artistry

Shibori, a traditional Japanese tie-dye technique, has captured hearts around the world with its exquisite beauty. Artisans fold, twist, and bind fabric before dyeing, resulting in intricate patterns that range from delicate dots to bold lines. The art of shibori requires patience and precision, and each piece reflects the artist's meticulous attention to detail.

Bandhani, Leheriya, and Shibori in Modern Fashion

While these tie-dye techniques have deep roots in tradition, they continue to inspire modern fashion. Designers around the world are incorporating bandhani, leheriya, and shibori prints into their collections, infusing garments with a touch of timeless elegance and cultural richness.

Exploring the Diversity of Tie-Dye Across India

India's tie-dye traditions go beyond bandhani and leheriya, with each region offering its unique twist on the art form. From the bold ikat tie-dye of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to the subtle batik tie-dye of West Bengal and Indonesia, the country is a tapestry of tie-dye techniques waiting to be explored.

Conclusion: A Tapestry of Tradition and Innovation

As we delve into the world of bandhani tie and dye, leheriya prints, and shibori techniques, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of India's textile heritage. These traditions passed down through generations, continue to inspire awe and admiration for their artistry and beauty. Whether you're drawn to the vibrant hues of bandhani, the rippling waves of leheriya, or the intricate patterns of shibori, each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and creativity.

At, iTokri we have a variety of fabrics and clothing celebrating the rich traditions across the country. 

Come find yourself fashion that speaks a legacy of art preserved over ages.

What's In a Kimono? Part 10

On The Ninth Day of Fun I present... a new kimono! Another series makes it to the double digit mark at last! Let's take a dive into the kimono that's gracing the cover of my upcoming book ^^

Name: Kichō No Yume (几帳の夢) - Partition Dream Type: Houmongi (訪問着) Time Period: Heisei Period (1989 - 2019) Condition: Excellent Material: Silk Motifs: Partitions, Clouds, Fans, and Flowers Execution and Techniques: Yuzen and Stencils Value: $200 - 250 USD When I originally went to purchase this piece I thought that it was shibori (tie dye), but I was very surprised when it arrived and found that it's all hand dyed instead! The entire piece, including the background, is either hand painted yuzen or stencil dyed with extremely small, intricate stencils! This gives the whole piece a very dreamy effect that makes you want to stare and pick out the all of the details. It's almost hard to believe that the black background or the blue clouds aren't solid colors. The main motif here are Kichō (几帳), which are partitions used by the nobility during the Heian Period (794 - 1185), and cypress fans, also used by the nobility during the Heian Period. The partitions would be set up in rooms and block the viewer from gazing directly upon the face of the other noble. Just like the partitions, these large cypress fans were used by court women to hide their faces in large rooms and when meeting with potential suitors. The partitions and the fans were both decorated with pieces of silk that accentuated their length and drew the eye of the viewer to their lovely designs. You may have noticed on the right hand side near where the hem meets the collar that there's a random white square among all of the color. This isn't there by accident, but it being blank is! This is the area where the artist would dye their signature. That it somehow got skipped and sold as-is is gives it an air of mystery as it was clearly a work of art made by a famous artist, but who? I haven't found any other markings on this piece, so I guess we'll never know ^^
