Kyoto Shibori Bikyo's works have been exhibited at overseas exhibitions and trade fairs (Maison & Objet in France, Ambiente in Germany, HOMI in Italy, NY NOW in the U.S., etc.) and received high acclaim.
Please come to the showroom to enjoy the beauty of tie-dyeing, which is highly appreciated in Japan, Europe, and the United States, and the variety of products created with reliable techniques.
You will experience silk scarf production with profesional craftsmen (traditional artisans).
-Designing (pattern making)
While there are still around 50 different shibori techniques, we will dye and complete a silk scarf using the “itajime-shibori” technique.
First, the design is drawn on a paper pattern, and then the design is drawn on fine silk to match the pattern.
-Shibori and Dyeing
Using an itajime-shibori (tie-dyeing) board, the fabric is folded and prepared for processing.
The color is chosen and dyed using dyes until the desired color is obtained.
-Finishing
Remove the board and let the fabric dry. Place in the original box and take home.
Also, please enjoy a cup of tea and listen to a talk by a craftsman (traditional artisan) about “Kyo Kanoko Shibori” and tie-dyeing.
