A Length of Stitched Shibori: Two Tones of Indigo
$40.00 USD
mid twentieth century
39 3/4" x 13", 101 cm x 33 cm
This is a richly colored length of indigo dyed cotton shibori that was once part of a yukata or a casual, unlined summer kimono. Because of this there are ingrained creases that are impressed onto the piece from its time as a yukata.
The cloth shows two tones of indigo, each deep and saturated in color.
The resisted design of interlocking, horizontal rows of ovals is done by stitching: the staining of deep blue in between these rows of white circles shows how the cloth was gathered before it was dyed.
An attractive piece of indigo dyed cotton shibori this shows an elegant pattern and good design. It is is good, used condition.
Wonderful to look at.
