Yuki Tanaka
Yuki Tanaka is a Kyoto-based artist trained in the traditional Japanese dyeing technique of shibori — a resist-dyeing method that creates patterns through folding, twisting, and binding silk before submersion in natural indigo dye baths. She trained for seven years under master dyer Hiroshi Murata in the Nishijin district. Her designs carry the quietude of a Zen garden.
