Beautiful and informative
This book struck me as being on the price-y side, so I had put off getting it, even though I tend to buy textile books rather indiscriminately. Besides, even though I’ve been known to teach tie-dyeing, my own focus is loom-controlled shibori, which is not a traditional shibori technique, and is not covered by this book.However, when I finally saw this book in real life, I knew I had to have it, and even the full retail price seemed like a bargain. It is rare to find a book that thoroughly covers equipment and techniques (there’s even instructions for an indigo vat in the appendix), and also is unabashed eye candy. The authors/publishers managed costs intelligently; there are plenty of color photos, but no gratuitous or distracting color. Many patterns in the gallery are shown in black-and-white, which helps the reader focus on the important aspects of design in addition to keeping the price of the book reasonable. There is a short section on history; large sections on each of the basic techniques; a gallery section showing even more examples (even though the discussions of the individual techniques are amply illustrated); and a discussion, mostly in photos, of modern textile-art pieces along with artists’ statements. There’s even a handy glossary.A must-have for fiber artists!

Great Book!
Got a 1999 printing with 26 pages of color plates, well worth the money! Love the history and details, gives good explanation of this art. The examples are wonderful. Premier book to add to the others I have or have read. Will use it often!

An Encyclopedia to learning Shibori!!!
Once you learn the basic’s of shibori, and if you are interested in excelling at shibori fabric dying, then this is the book to buy!!!As a beginner, when I first bought this book I found it overwhelming. I turned to an other shibori book I bought here on Amazon called “Shibori a Beginner’s Guide to Creating Color & Texture on Fabric.” Then once I learned the basic’s and reread this book, I found what an awesome encyclopedia of making and learning shibori, I had in my hands! The instructions are simple enough once you learn the basics, and this book is loaded with many, many, many pictures, examples, and instructions, that will keep you busy experimenting and creating shibori dyed cloth!Out of the three shibori fabric dying books I bought, this is far exceeds the other’s in information and pictures in it’s 303 pages. In saying that, I would first suggest you learn the basic’s of shibori before buying and using this book. Then when you read this book, you will be amazed of all the ways to create shibori dyed cloth, and how simple many of them are 😉

I’ve been meaning to buy this book for a while
This is one of those reference books you want to have if you’re working in shibori. There’s a lot of information as well as illustrations and photos of finished products. One of my instructors in a dye class referred to it often. I’m glad to have it because it expands my library on the subject.

Beautiful, interesting, and inspirational!
I feel so fortunate that I made the decision to drop $50 on a used book. I’m a bit obsessive about researching, and once I started investigating Shibori techniques, this book was mentioned over and over as *the* Shibori manual to have (in English, anyway). I debated about buying the softcover book new, but decided that even if my Shibori craft doesn’t take off as I hope, that this book in hardback would be a coffee-table book to cherish. And it is. The photographs are beautiful. The instructions and diagrams are complete and easy to understand. I have many hours of inspiration to guide me in this awesome craft, whether trying to duplicate the traditional techniques and patterns, or simply adapting them to more contemporary tie dye. I set up my first indigo vat, and the results are impressive, and certainly gift-worthy, if not marketable (yet). If you have an interest in textiles, shibori, or tie dying, you need this book!As for the price, again, I must have luck on my side to have snagged this hardback book, in great condition, for $50. I will value and *use* it!

The Authoritative Shibori book
I have other books about Shibori, but this one makes them seem lightweight by comparison. It begins with the history of the technique and provides ample photos and discussion of the tradition, before offering a thorough explantion of Shibori techniques and patterns. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to go beyond dabbling in Shibori to a broader understanding of this art form. Excellent photographs supplement the written text. I will refer to this book often.

The ultimate resource for shibori and indigo artists; Wada has such a wealth of knowledge and resources at hand that this is the definitive guide to shibori. The explanations and photos go in depth, exploring many of the variations of shibori previously unknown to Western audiences. There is a definite dearth of shibori books on the market but this is the only one that I recommend over and over. It is written with an obvious love and admiration for the artform – honestly, it is the only book you need.

This is a “bible” for textile artists who dye. It presents these Japanese techniques in a comprehensive way. If you do not already have this, get it. If you DO already have this, I also recommend “STITCHED SHIBORI, Technique, Innovation, Pattern, Design” by Jane Callender. It will describe the “how-to” for shibori patterns that you did not yet know existed or had assumed were prints. A nice companion to Wada, Rice, Barton’s “bible.”
