Kanoko shibori silk shawl　purple【leaf pattern】

This exquisite shawl features an incredibly fine shibori technique on rinzu silk fabric. The fabric was originally hand-tied approximately 40 years ago by one of the most skilled artisans of that era, using a method known as hari-hitome shibori—a technique so intricate that no craftspeople today can replicate it at this level of detail. Even modern-day shibori artisans are amazed by the fineness of this work.

The tied fabric had been carefully stored in our archive for decades, and it has now been brought to life through the advanced dyeing techniques of today’s artisans. This shawl is a rare fusion of past and present—combining the masterful tying skills of a former generation with the precision and refinement of contemporary dyeing.

To ensure practicality as well as beauty, the shawl has been treated with a water-repellent finish known as Pearl Tone, typically used for kimono fabrics. This makes it suitable for everyday use while preserving its elegance.

The rich texture of the rinzu silk, enhanced by the ultra-fine shibori pattern, makes this shawl a versatile accessory for both Western and traditional Japanese attire. You can drape it over your shoulders or fold it in half and wrap it around your neck. The elegant fringes add a luxurious touch.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece that showcases the highest level of shibori craftsmanship—something rarely seen today. We invite you to enjoy this exceptional blend of traditional artistry and modern innovation in your daily life.
