A Generous Length of Itajime Dyed Cotton

Welcome to a unique piece of art from the early to mid-20th century, where tradition meets innovation. This exquisite cotton cloth measures 4 yards by 13 inches (3.65 meters by 33 cm) and is a testament to the artistry of itajime shibori dyeing. Each square inch of this fabric is a work of art, showcasing a blend of historical craft and modern aesthetics.

• Timeless Craftsmanship: This cloth was created using the itajime shibori technique, where the cotton was folded into triangular shapes, clamped, and then dyed with indigo. The result is a mesmerizing field of blue on white, with six-pointed "flowers" arranged in an ordered repeat pattern.
• Cultural Significance: The design forms hexagons, a design shorthand for tortoiseshell, symbolizing a wish for long life. This not only adds depth to the cloth's aesthetic but also ties it to cultural heritage.

Two Processes, Endless Beauty

This fabric is not only a visual delight but also a marvel of technique. Along with the itajime shibori method, an additional resist dye technique was used to create a layered effect.

• Unparalleled Quality: Despite being in good, used condition, this 4-yard piece of cotton shows very lightly ingrained creases that are almost imperceptible. This testament to its longevity ensures that the cloth will continue to be cherished for years to come.
