ARIMATSU NARUMI SHIBORI
Arimatsu Shibori and Narumi Shibori (Arimatsu-Narumi Shibori),
produced around the Nagoya City Green District in Aichi Prefecture,
are types of tie-dyeing known for their unique textures and patterns formed during the tying process.
During the Edo period, this region was a post station frequented by western feudal lords traveling to and
from Edo for alternate attendance, and under the patronage of the Owari Domain,
it was granted exclusive rights for Shibori production.
Travelers purchased Shibori hand towels and yukata as souvenirs for their hometowns,
making it the number one specialty of the highways.
The Shibori dyeing of the Arimatsu Narumi region boasts an overwhelming variety of over 100 types
and is now loved worldwide as "SHIBORI".
