| ca. late Nineteenth, early Twentieth century 53" x 13", 134.5 cm x 33 cm Highly unusual and very beautiful, this piece is for the shibori collector. This boro fragment shows two dyeing processes: first, a stencil resist (katazome) pattern was dyed on the piece--note the overall interlocking diamond pattern. Over this a shibori process was used: the thin vertical, dark indigo lines are the result of a pleating method of dyeing: it has been referred to as yoro shibori and seems to be akin to suji shibori. The combination of shibori over katazome is not often seen, and for this alone this piece is collectible. There are four mending patches on this fragment; and do note the beautiful coloration of this cloth, which is remarkable in its many hues of blue. 4 patches | ||||||||
