Shibori is a cloth-making technique known as “Tie & Dye” in English, and “Bandhani” in India. The history of this technique dates back to the Indus civilization. The dyeing technique originated in India and came to Japan via the Silk Road around the 7th century. In the Nara period (710-794), various techniques were born one after another in Japan. Among them, Kyoto’s “Kanoko-Shibori,” which reached its peak in the Edo period, is widely known.

It is said that the Shibori technique developed in Japan was brought to India by Rabindranath Tagore. He was a close friend of Kakuzo (Tenshin) Okakura and visited Japan many times. His passion for the revival of traditional arts and the survival of handicrafts has been inherited, and in 1997, the 2nd International Shibori Symposium was held in Ahmedabad in 1997.

MURA, which probably means “village” in Japanese, also supports economically disadvantaged artisans in rural areas, selling its own mask sets, “GENKI by MURA,” in the face of the increasing hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. They are trying to find a way to make a living without laying off the artisans. (GENKI means health, vitality, and full of life in Japanese.ïŒAs a special guest, I was given this as a gift.

I was wearing a Bandhani saree, which I bought in Mumbai in 2008. The colors and patterns remind me of the yukata (informal light cotton kimono) sashes I wore as a child. It gives me a nostalgic feeling. The tie-dyeing on one side of the soft silk gives the cloth elasticity, allowing it to fit the body comfortably and prevent it from falling apart.

I bought a silk saree with a motif of Arjuna trees. I liked everything about it: the large tree with its roots, the leaves and flowers, the color scheme of gray, indigo, and yellow, and the Japanese arrow pattern on the blouse. I am looking forward to tailoring the blouse and wearing it.

This time, when I was researching the history of Bandhani, I found that Bandhani clothing can be found in the first cave of the Ajanta cave, in a painting depicting the life of Buddha. When I opened up the photo book I had purchased right after my visit, I found the picture! The dancing lady is wearing Shibori top and Ikat bottom. How lovely!
