A Length of Miura Shibori: Spare Images

early to mid twentieth century
44" x 12 1/2", 112 cm x 32 cm

This length of old shibori dyed cotton was taken from a yukata or an unlined, casual kimono. It is very interesting to look at and it shows an unusual overall design.

The base is of large-scale, blue-on-blue miura shibori that evokes some kind of water dappling.

Onto this base we see wonderful, stylized, resist dyed images of cherry blossoms, some are fully rendered with all five petals while others are depicted partially.

This is a good quality length of old shibori that would be wonderful to add to your collection.
