Asia
Japan’s shibori indigo and India’s block-printed Rajasthan share a common thread: the conviction that making something slowly, by hand, is the only way to make something that lasts. Asia holds many more such convictions. We intend to find them.

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.
