The fabric is dyed while being tied with thread and under pressure to prevent the dye from soaking into the pressured areas, and the pattern is created using the traditional rolling tie-dye technique. The way the pleats are gathered and the way the string is wrapped around it will affect how the white background appears, so it's all about skill in deciding which parts to dye. You can choose from a rich selection of 20 colors. You will end up with a one-of-a-kind, original piece of work that is just yours. You can take your work home with you.experiencetaikenKYOTOLINK KYOTOhistoryexperienceKyotoKyoto culture
