#arimatsu shibori

Beautiful handmade Arimatsu Shibori yukata from Hong Kong Madam. All shibori pieces are one of a kind and very expensive. This gorgeous blue and violet yukata is paired with a soft white obi with printed obijime to show off the craft of the tie dye to its fullest effect. Different sizes and patterns of dyeing are combined here to make flowers, water waves and a pattern of soft squares.

The overall effect is of a cold river with violet flowers falling across it, a wonderful image on a hot summer day.

This yukata currently costs 45,278 yen (on sale!) but many shibori yukata are made-to-order from the dyed cloth, so as not to waste any when cutting!
