A Length of Shibori Dyed Cotton: Falling Blooms

early to mid twentieth century24" x 13 1/4", 61 cm x 33.5 cm This is a length of indigo dyed cotton shibori that was produced in Arimatsu, one of the towns in Aichi prefecture that was a leading producer and innovator in the production of shibori.  The pattern shows a design of two types of gently cascading flowers, each type constructed of six petals. The shibori is dyed onto a length of commercially loomed, fairly lightweight cotton and is in good, used condition. Wonderful to look at!
