| ca. early Twentieth century 50" x 46", 127 cm x 117 cm This is an unlined cotton kimono, or yukata, dyed in indigo dye using a shape-resist method called shibori. The type of shibori used to create the evenly spaced, broken vertical lines on this yukata is called suji: suji shibori employed the use of a kind of primitive pleating 'machine' that was used to draw the width of cloth into a pleated bundle. The bundle would then be tied and dyed; the 'broken' lines are due to the binding of the pleated cloth. This yukata is in good condition: just a hint of a small stain--almost unnoticeable--on the proper right back, near the collar; the interior of the collar at the nape of the neck shows wear. The suji stripes are evenly spaced and of sturdy coloration. Most likely made in one of Japan's shibori centers, Arimatsu, it is presumed this piece dates from the early part of last century. | ||||||||||||
