What is “E-shibori”

 Tsujigahana is the way of portraying various pictorial devices. Tsujigahana in Azuchi-Momoyama Period also had not only Japanese wisteria and azalea but also rabbits, seashells and other animals which are vividly portrayed.

E-Shibori-An interprets tsujigahana as portraying pictorial devices with tie-dyeing, “E(picturesque)-shibori”.

 “E-shibori” is generally thought as abstract and geometric design such as dappled cloth, hitta-shibori, arimatsu-shibori, etc. It’s unable to portray concrete design by using them, but tsuji-ga-hana dyeing enabled it. So, tsujigahana is tie-dyeing which enables to portray pictorial devices; that is to say “e-shibori”.
