There is Shibori Zome which has over 1500 years of history in Japan. [SHIBORI] means making pattern by tinning up material with strings and dying.
Especially in Edo period, Tokugawa shogunate prohibited to wear dappled cloth kimono because of Kyo Kanoko Shibori (dappled cloth) was way too gorgeous and rich.
Jyuraku in Kyoto is still manufacturing like that kind of high class dress fabrics of dappled cloth now, on top of that, using silk 100% as same as high class dress fabrics and also producing small articles which is particular about real dappled cloth.
Please enjoy the Japanese professional technique which is nothing like this in whole world.
