Potential for creating designs in textiles can be seen even in the physical properties of cloth. The simple fact that cloth tightly compressed into wrinkles or folds resists the penetration of dye is an opportunity—an opportunity to let the pliancy of textiles speak in making designs and patterns. People around the world have recognized this opportunity, producing resist designs in textiles by shaping and then securing cloth in various ways before dyeing. Yet in no other country has the creative potential of this basic principle been understood and applied as it has in Japan. Here, in fact, it has been expanded into a whole family of traditional resist techniques, involving first shaping the cloth by plucking, pinching, twisting, stitching, folding, pleating, and wrapping it, and then securing the shapes thus made by binding, looping, knotting, clamping, and the like. This entire family of techniques is called shibori. Designs created with shibori processes all share a softness of outline and spontaneity of effect. Spontaneity is shibori's special magic, made possible by exploiting the beauty of the fortuitous things that happen when dye enters shaped cloth. Usually it is in response to the fact that a craft is being lost that the need for preserving and documenting it arises. The motivation behind this book is no exception, but the authors have gone far beyond simple documentation. Extensive research and experimentation have led to the revival here of shibori techniques that were once well known but have now been largely forgotten in Japan. In addition to more conventional techniques, the work of contemporary fiber artists in Japan and abroad in shibori textile art and wearable art is presented, to suggest the extent of the creative innovation possible. The 104 color and 298 black-and-white plates include a photographic Gallery of Shibori Examples, based on Japan's largest collection of traditional shibori fabrics. Included also are a detailed guide to basic natural dyes used in Japan, the making and care of an indigo vat, and a list of suppliers in North America, as well as a glossary and bibliography. Now available in paperback, this full documentation of one of the world's most inventive and exciting dyeing techniques continues as a classic in the textile field.

Version bilingue francais/anglais. [...] nous nous demandons quel genie a bien pu les creer et faire preuve d'une telle originalite. Soetsu Yanagi (1889-1961) Le tsutsugaki, qui designe aussi bien une technique japonaise de decor reserve a la colle et de teinture a l'indigo que l'oeuvre textile qui en procede, connait son apogee durant l'epoque d'Edo (1603-1868) pour disparaitre progressivement a la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale. Il faut attendre, a la fin des annees 1930, le regard de Soetsu Yanagi, createur de la notion mingei ( art populaire ), pour que soit reconnu au tsutsugaki sa valeur proprement artistique. L'exposition du musee Guimet rassemble, aux cotes d'un tsutsugaki du peintre Foujita et de la collection Krishna Riboud, des oeuvres pour la premiere fois presentees hors du Japon. Veritables tableaux empreints de puissance et de serenite, ces textiles invitent a penetrer au coeur de la culture japonaise. Ce catalogue richement illustre aborde la technique des tsutsugaki, les contextes de leur apparition, de leur redecouverte et de leurs usages, ainsi que la symbolique des motifs qui les composent.

Shibori is infinitely more than the tie-dye that became well known in the late 1960s. Shaped-resist dyeing techniques have been done for centuries in every corner of the world. Yet more than half of the known techniques—in which cloth is in some way tied, clamped, folded, or held back during dyeing, to keep some areas from taking color—originated in Japan. Shibori can be used not only to create patterns on cloth but to turn fabric from a two-dimensional into a three-dimensional object. The word is used here to refer to any process that leaves a "memory on cloth" —a permanent record, whether of patterning or texture, of the particular forms of resist done. In addition to traditional methods it encompasses high-tech processes like heat-set on polyester (made famous by Issey Miyake's revolutionary pleated clothing), melt-off on metallic fabric, the fulling and felting that make it possible to turn all-natural fabrics into three-dimensional shapes, weaving resist (in which, for instance, a warp thread can be pulled to gather the cloth to resist dye), and dévorée, in which just one part of a mixed fabric is dissolved with chemicals. Author Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada has been teaching shibori around the world for nearly thirty years, and helped to establish the World Shibori Network and the International Shibori Symposium. She coauthored in 1983 the authoritative Shibori: The Inventive Art of Japanese Shaped-Resist Dyeing, which in turn inspired many artists to add shibori processes to their repertoire. The range of vibrant modern art covered in Memory on Cloth is remarkable, and includes work by artists from Africa, South America, Europe, India, Japan, China, Korea, the United States, and Australia in more than 325 stunning photos and illustrations. It encompasses fabric design, wearable art and fashion, and textile art or various sculptural forms. The work of more than seventy innovative designers including Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Jurgen Lehl, Jun'ichi Arai, Hélène Soubeyran, Geneviève Dion, Asha Sarabhai, Junco Sato Pollack, Ana Lisa Hedstrom, Marian Clayden, and Carter Smith is presented, and each artist shares details on the processes that they themselves have created, making this an invaluable reference for artists in every field. A number of innovative artists who combine shibori techniques with knitting, weaving, or quilting are also included, suggesting new ways to combine innovation with more traditional forms. A final section on modern techniques gives extremely detailed information, including dye recipes, on various high-tech processes and the particular methods that individual artists use to achieve certain effects. As informative as it is inspirational, Memory on Cloth will take its place alongside Wada's earlier work, Shibori, as a definitive text that will help keep shaped-resist dyeing processes a vibrant and important form of modern art. Features More than 325 stunning photos and illustrations Encompasses fabric design, wearable art and fashion, and textile art or various sculptural forms Covers more than seventy innovative designers Includes works by artists from Africa, South America, Europe, India, Japan, China, Korea, the United States, and Australia Each artist shares details on the processes that they themselves have created Praise for Shibori (co-authored by Yoshiko Wada): "In this age of hyperbole there is great risk in declaring a singular event. Nonetheless one has occurred with the long anticipated publication of Shibori: The Inventive Art of Japanese Shaped Resist Dyeing. Word of this book has long circulated in the inner and outer sanctums of the textile world with excitement and expectation building. This combination of bilingual, scholarly, creative and resourceful authors has brought us a classic volume . . . A masterful blend of historical material that puts Japanese textiles in context, clearly described and illustrated techniques along with information and illustrations of contemporary work from Japan and the West make this book an essential acquisition for anyone who proclaims a serious interest in textile dyeing, design, or historic textiles." — Glen Kaufman, in Surface Design Journal "Well researched, well written, well organized and well illustrated." — Crafts Magazine

This gorgeous celebration of the color blue and the indigo plant, by a Korean American debut artist and storyteller, powerfully connects art and the natural world. With lavish mixed-media art including watercolor painting and hand-dyed textiles, debut author-illustrator Rosa Chang pays tribute to the science and art of growing the indigo plant and making indigo dye. Woven throughout is a poetic tribute to the color blue, Chang’s favorite since her girlhood in Korea, and an appreciation of the indigo plant as a valued source of blue dye in cultures around the world. Informative back matter tells more about the science behind indigo dye production, with an “indigo map” of the shades of blue produced by indigo around the world, and simple instructions for growing your own indigo plants and making homemade blue dye.

"At the age of seventeen, John Marshall ventured forth to Japan for what turned out to be a five-year stint and half-century adventure in historic Japanese textile arts. John has presented exhibitions of his art-to-wear internationally, with shows in Japan sponsored by the U.S. State Department, Kodansha, and Nishitetsu Corporation. Today John continues his interest in this art form -- lecturing and publishing while at the same time adapting traditional approaches to a modern and Western environment to ensure that these unique techniques are not lost. Having worked with natural indigo since the early 1970s, John continues working with natural dyes and Japanese dye techniques out of his studio located in a rural corner of Mendocino County in California. While specializing in katazome rice-paste resist, John also writes about a broad range of traditional Japanese textile techniques, sharing his love of these treasures and his decades of research and experience."--Back cover.
