(Borrowed from the Itchiku Tsujigahana Company Limited, Tokyo, Japan)


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. This exhibition features 50 kimonos representative of Itchiku Tsujigahana.
