This exhibition, presented at the Canadian Museum of Civilization from
June 2 to October 29, 1995, featured 45 kimonos representative of Itchiku
Tsujigahana. Complicated tie-dyeing is the most distinguishing
characteristic of Tsujigahana, an ancient Japanese decorative
textile-design method that also features elaborate brush paintings,
intricate embroidery and gold-leaf appliqués. Itchiku Kubota
revived this ancient method fifteen years ago, but he also incorporated
new designs, and unique coloration and tie-dye methods in what is now known
as Itchiku Tsujigahana.
