Cloth which expresses a three-dimensional effect through ruggedness and wrinkling is said to have originated in India, but it is also thought that it was spontaneously born in various parts of the world. In Japan, such precise techniques were developed that luxurious shibori-dyed belts and kimono became an epidemic of sartorial envy, to the point that items were controlled by sumptuary laws during the Edo period. In Arimatsu and Narumi alone, artisans have developed hundreds of distinct techniques.However, fragments of cloth with simple expressions using the basic techniques of tie-dyeing have been excavated from ancient sites across the world, such as in Peru and Central Asia. The shibori which occurred and propagated throughout the world developed into various traditions of shibori dyeing each with their own customs, beliefs, prayers, and expressions representative of each culture.
This book surveys regions across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific, showing how the tie-dyeing technique called "bandhani" or "laharia" which is said to be born in India is also associated with Indonesian islands such as Java, Bali, and Lombok, used to dye surendan (shawl, breastplate) and ceremonial cloth. Other highlighted regions include Pakistan, Cambodia, and the Philippines. In particular this book focuses on a unique original method of shibori found in Vanuatu in the South Pacific. In the Middle East and Central Asia, the book examines shibori traditions of Turkmenistan and Syria, woolen goods and felts in Mongolia and Tibet, and indigo-dyed cotton goods produced by ethnic minorities in China.
Across Africa, techniques of great interest which are practiced to this day include the use of raffia palm fiber to aid shibori on narrow handwoven cotton bands, and methods of sewing sticks, stones, leaves and the like on cloth to create a resist. These various techniques produce cloth of bold design. More than variation between nations, techniques and design can vary completely between ethnic groups as well.
In Japan, the book examines the uninterrupted tradition of shibori dating from ancient times and inspects its practice in the modern day.
In total, this book surveys the history and tradition of shibori in 24 countries across the world, not only gathering simple information on techniques, but drawing connections between the lives of people who practice shibori.

Perfect size, good privacy
Size: 4 Panel-88‘’Wide, Color: Black
This is a good divider. The dark, thick panels provide blockage from the light. Assembly was not very hard, but it wasn't simple. I ordered this product two times in the past couple of weeks. The first time I assembled it, I noticed that the picture assembly directions aren't completely accurate. The labeled parts don't match the labels on the instructions. The wrench included in my box is too big for any of the bolts or screws used for assembly. After getting the right tools and matching against the instructions, I finally got it assembled. The divider I ordered this week is missing two wheels and there is no number for calling the supplier; thus, I seem forced to return it, instead of easily getting the two wheels. Once assembled, I am pleased with the end product and I consider it a good value.

Excellent privacy shade.
Color: Coal Black
This delivered on exactly what it promises. So happy with the quality for the value. The shades are a fabric, nylon like, that are attached with a pocket on one end and velcro that adheres around the bar on the other.
This was incredibly easy and straightforward to put together. Every piece was clearly labeled, coordinated with the instruction sheet, and fit perfectly. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to leave a review but I was so impressed by how clearly labeled and well explained the instructions were that I felt compelled to note it. Especially for anyone who doesn’t like putting things together, or is used to subpar instructions, this is leagues above the rest. It’s such a simple build anyway, but after buying so many things that barely fit as they should, this stands out.
It is lightweight and easy to move. Offers privacy when opened, then can be folded out of the way. It looks exactly as pictured. No complaints, it’s a solid item and worth the price.

Decent quality for the price
Color: Grey
Decent quality for the price. Other privacy screens were extremely out of my budget, but this looks and works just fine- I just needed something simple to place behind my couch to hide some clutter. It took me about a half hour to assemble, but it was easy enough.
It might be due to my carpeting, but I don't trust that the screen would be stable enough to stand freely without falling. Thankfully my
plan all along was to wedge the screen between the couch and a box of clutter anyway, so for me it works as l'd planned!

Overpriced but effective.
Color: Cream
I happened to get lucky and get a warehouse deal at an additional 30% discount. Even at $25, it feels a little overpriced. But it was easy to assemble and serves its purpose. If you line the Velcro up exactly, the panels sag, if you stretch past even, but where it still grips, they look pretty ok. It is very light and does fold very compact for easy storage.
