Tsujigahana

Tsujigahana (辻ヶ花) is a Japanese fabric dyeing technique that originated in the Muromachi period.

During the 20th century, scholars redefined tsujigahana to refer to a specific textile technique that uses stitch-resist dyeing (nuishime shibori) and ink painting to decorate a plain weave, lightweight fabric, often silk.

[2] Historically, tsujigahana garments were worn by the Japanese upper class during the 16th century.

They began to circulate on the antiques market, and were often deconstructed into the original fabric panels or fragments.

But Tsujigahana nevertheless contributed a lot for the decorative art phase in Azuchi-Momoyama period.
