Notes
This kimono uses an itajime shibori technique, in which the fabric is folded and clamped between two boards of geometric shapes and then dipped into a dye bath. It is a resist-dyeing technique that creates symmetrical geometric patterns. Other names for this technique include sekka shibori, tatami shibori, and orihana shibori.
