AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Pinnacle of Japanese Textile Art: A Full Roll of "Sohishibori" (Tie-Dyed) Silk Fabric.
This is an exquisite "Tanmono" (a full bolt of fabric for one Kimono), featuring the legendary "Sohishibori" technique. Every single dot on this silk was meticulously tied by hand with thread before dyeing, creating a breathtaking three-dimensional texture and a vibrant, complex pattern.
Artistic Highlights:
Craftsmanship: Known as "Shibori," this is one of the oldest and most labor-intensive dyeing techniques in Japan. The entire 13-meter roll is covered in these hand-tied bumps, a feat that takes months of dedicated work by skilled artisans.
Color & Design: A brilliant palette of sunrise orange and warm gold, accented with delicate floral motifs in violet and red. The transition of colors creates a stunning visual depth, characteristic of high-end traditional craftsmanship.
Material: 100% Pure Silk (Shoken). The fabric is incredibly lightweight yet possesses a rich, tactile volume due to the shibori process.
Versatility: While intended for a custom Kimono, this premium fabric is highly sought after by collectors for use in haute couture, luxury interior decor (as wall hangings or table runners), or as a centerpiece for a textile art collection.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. New old stock (unused). Includes the "New Guard" protective processing seal.
