	Shibori - A Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Shibori is the Japanese word for a variety of ways of embellishing textiles by shaping cloth and securing it before dyeing.
		The word comes from the verb root shiboru, "to wring, squeeze, press." Although shibori is used to designatc a particular group of resist-dyed textiles, the verb root of the word emphasizes the action performed on cloth, the process of manipulating fabric.
		Rather than treating cloth as a two-dimensional surface, with shibori it is given a three-dimensional form by folding, crumpling, stitching, plaiting, or plucking and twisting.

		Three terms for separate shibori methods have come into international usage: plangi, a Malay-Indonesian word for the process of gathering and binding cloth; bandhani, an Indian term for the process of plucking and binding cloth in small points; and tritik, a Malay-Indonesian word for stitch resist.
		The oldest examples—pre-Columbian shibori alpaca found in Peru and silk found in fourth century tombs along the Silk Road in China—are from regions where the shibori traditions have not survived to the present day.
		Shibori traditions existed for centuries in the Middle East and in the Indian subcontinent.

	Shibori clothes manufacturing method, etc. and shibori clothes made by said manufacturing method - Patent 6523196
		The present invention concerns a shibori clothes manufacturing method, with which crimps are formed in a cloth by application of the binding technique of "shibori dyeing" (tie-dyeing), which is a traditional Japanese dyeing method, shibori clothes made by this manufacturing method, and a dyeing method favorable for the manufacturing method.
		Shibori clothes, with a vivid pattern and with which the occurrence of color migration, which can take the appearance of soiling of the light-colored portions, is prevented, can thus be manufactured.
		Since the shibori clothes made by the shibori clothes manufacturing methods of this invention have the desired shapes and coloration as well as unique forms, stretchability, handling and draping qualities, comfort when worn, etc., they are of extremely high commercial value.

		Although out of favour in the Heian period, shibori was revived during the utilitarian Kamakura regime as a simple and less ostentatious way to pattern one's garments.
		The distinction is that in boshi-shibori (or "hat" shibori), the white areas are wrapped within a tube and bound.
		In rindashi-shibori ("outline" shibori), a piece of hemp fabric is stitched over the areas to be reserved and that blocks the absorption of the dye.

	ENTWINEMENTS: Shibori Archives
		The shibori dyed pattern in the silk dress was developed to mimic the white patterning in the stingray leather.
		Shibori depends on diffusion of the dye for its fuzzy edges and each dye has a rate of diffusion dependent on its molecular structure (this is the basis of chromotography).
		When Grace and I evaluated the stitched shibori samples we liked the pattern which worked on both the grain and bias fold of the fabric but the background was not fl enough and the hand was wrong for the dress that we were now envisioning.

		"Shibori" is an ancient Japanese fabric manipulation technique that we use together with a "bleaching" or dye-releasing compound to create surface design on the scarf.
		Because each shibori design is painstakingly executed and processed individually, each is a little different than the last.
		The shibori is always done on a fl chenille piece, (except in the case of the green Pele's Fire design) and the surface design is a warm golden color.

		Shibori is the traditional textile process that roughly translates as “shaped resist dyeing.” While examples of the technique can be found around the globe, the word itself is Japanese, and it is often the textiles from that region that are most associated with the process.
		For Iwatsubo, shibori is the single textile technique she has explored since she first became interested in textile design.
		While this type of shibori pattern is traditionally made by immersing the pleated fabric in a dye bath, Iwatsubo prints a discharge dye onto the pleated ridges.

		Shibori is the 1500 year old Japanese dye process whereby cloth is shaped by pinching, pleating, stitching, wrapping and folding, and secured in those shapes by knotting, binding and clamping.
		By removing colors previously deposited during the shibori process, the student is free to create patterns using complementary color schemes, or to use elements in his/her design which float light form on dark ground.

		Shibori's spiritual home, in Arimatsu and Narumi on Honshu island, was ignored even by the railways, which built no sidings there for the very few fabric dyers left to load their goods.
		Nowadays shibori is used mainly to create surface patterns on cloth and to stiffen fabric so it moves with a kind of flexible slink.

		To ensure their safety, he encouraged the foundation of villages around these stations, one of which was Arimatsu, the forty-second station on the Tokaido, which was settled in 1608 by eight families.
		The basic technique of Arimatsu Shibori is to draw a design on a piece of fabric (usually silk or cotton), then to tie very tight knots with thread around points of the fabric.
		Shibori developed along two separate paths: as the method of decorating the silk used for producing kimonos for the aristocracy of Japan (largely carried out in Kyoto), and as a folk art differing from region to region.

	Shibori from 2002-2003 Class
		Shibori is the traditional Japanese method of "shaped resist dyeing." I just took a class at Arrowmont from internationally known fiber artist, Ana Lisa Hedstrom.
		I learned way too much to cover with children in a short time, but we did several variations to get a feel for the technique of wrapping fabric around a pipe, placing string at regular intervals, then pushing up the fabric in tight folds, which resist the dye to create patterns.

		It was whilst in Japan as part of her Embroiderers' Guild mature scholarship studies (May/June 2002) that Michelle first observed the artisans who had spent their entire lives manipulating cloth prior to its being dyed.
		As a trained musician, Michelle was fascinated to see that the repetitive shibori actions were not only represented on the cloth as pattern and texture, but were also imprinted upon the artisans hands and minds.
		She wished to learn more about these traditional techniques in order that these skills would not be lost with the passing generations, whilst developing her own personal shibori vocabulary suitable for the 21st Century.

		Covering history and method, this introduction to the breakthrough technique of woven shibori embraces new approaches to the art of weaving and dyeing.
		Unlike traditional shibori, which uses stitches placed by needle on commercial cloth in the dyeing process, the "stitches" used in this new process are woven directly into the cloth, thus becoming part of the cloth's construction.
		After sections on the history of shibori and its many cultural variants, the chapters move on to thorough instructions in a range of weaving applications, from plain twills to laces.
