Technique: Tesuji Shibori - Resisted stripes created by continuous rows of hand-pleating before binding evenly around a rope  / Boushi Shibori - Capped motif binding thread resist. Process illustrations are from the book “Shibori: The Inventive Art of Japanese Shaped Resist Dyeing”  by Wada, Rice, and Barton. (c)1983

Pattern: Yoroidan -  Stripes (literally “great armor”), derived from yoroi or  Ō-yoroi, a type of plated samurai armor from feudal Japan. ' Ō-yoroi were visually recognizable from the horizontally striped pattern created by plated scales laced horizontally over an armor plate. The stripe design and colors of the scales often represented a samurai’s rank and clan.
