Myriad of Indigo Stripes

SHIMA-SHIMA is the brand name for textiles woven in the Kokura–ori tradition. The collection is designed by textile artist Noriko Tsuiki, who specializes in fabric dyeing and weaving. SHIMA-SHIMA is woven on a wide-format machine loom, using a technique that is traditional to hand-weaving. The fabric is thick and strong, with a smooth texture, and is characterized by beautiful vertical stripes. SHIMA-SHIMA recreates traditional Kokura-ori fabrics, with new designs and colors that are suitable for current trends in design.
