A Group of Three Packets of Shibori Patterns: Pictorial
$85.00 USD
early to mid twentieth century
each packet: 16 1/2" x 5 3/4", 42 cm x 14.5 cm
This is a fun listing.
It shows three separate packets, each containing around 10 shibori patterns. Each pattern is printed on a kind of newsprint paper and each shows a pictorial scene rather than showing a repeated design.
That these patterns were packaged and offer a set of simple patterns makes it fairly clear that they were originally targeted for a home audience rather than for professionals.
Wonderful artifacts from a bygone era.
Charming.
