Shibori is an ancient Japanese dyeing technique that dates back over 1,300 years. Originally developed in Japan, Shibori involves various methods of folding, twisting, and binding fabric before dyeing it to create intricate patterns. Each technique, whether it’s Kanoko (tie-dye), Miura (loop binding), or Nui (stitching), results in a unique design, making every piece of Shibori fabric one-of-a-kind.
Over time, Shibori made its way to India, where artisans combined traditional Japanese techniques with local dyeing practices. Indian craftsmen adapted Shibori by using natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and flowers, ensuring that the process remained eco-friendly and sustainable. Today, regions like Rajasthan and Gujarat are known for producing stunning Shibori pieces that combine the art of precise dyeing with vibrant, rich colors.
