A Length of Shibori Dyed Cotton: Oversized Pattern, Large Leaves #2

early to mid twentieth century26 1/4" x 13 1/4", 66.5 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 repeat pattern of stitched shibori that is configured in the shape of oversized leaves or fronds, each of the three leaves are so large against the background that only a part of it can be seen. The stitched pattern is dyed onto a length of commercially loomed, fairly lightweight cotton and is in good, used condition. Wonderful to look at!
