Traditional Shibori Tie Dye
Creating unique designs by tying and dyeing fabric has its roots in many African and Asian cultures. Japan has its own rich tie dye culture, with various tying techniques like shibori, itajime and kasuri. I was lucky enough to learn about shibori and itajime during my time at a indigo studio in Tokushima. These Japanese towels are dyed with the itajime tying technique, using different wooden shapes and bind the triangle shape folded fabric inbetween, ensuring the dye cannot penetrate.
