"This excellent book on all aspects of Japanese tie-dye has been so
influential worldwide that ‘shibori’ has actually become the term
for this field."—Jack Lenor Larsen
"This beautiful book is a classic within the field of textile
literature. The information it contains—with clearly written text
and wonderful illustrations—has been so useful to artists, students
and scholars since it was first published in 1983. It is wonderful
that it will now be available as a paperback."—Gillian Moss,
Curatorial Chair, Curator of Textiles Cooper-Hewitt, National
Design Museum
"This is the invaluable book that has launched a thousand
contemporary shibori artists. Among all the texts in the field of
surface design, this is the priceless jewel in the lotus!"—Jason
Pollen, President, Surface Design Association, Chair, Fiber
Department, Kansas City Art Institute
"…Masterfully organized and rich in detail, Shibori is of great
benefit to the student, fiber artist and researcher alike." —Glen
Kaufman, Fiber artist, Professor, University of Georgia
"Marvelous… This is the kind of book that every fibre artist would
love to have on his library shelves… To my knowledge there is no
other treatise in English which explicates this area of textile
art. Shibori fills a gap in the literature of textiles."—Tec
Hallman, Professor of Textiles, Ontario College of Art and Design
