A short 1930 article by N. Takata describing two Japanese indigo resist-dyeing methods: shibori (tied or bound cloth dyed after piece weaving) and kasuri (yarn resist-dyed before weaving). It covers binding and board-clamping techniques used in Yamato and Ohmi, the dipping sequence through fermentation vats, and the history of natural, Indian and synthetic indigo in Japan. It closes with vat dimensions, a general recipe for a 200-liter vat, and temperature control. Photographs show finished kasuri cloth, prepared resist cloth, indigo vats and shibori samples.
