Global InformationItchiku Kubota information
Itchiku Kubota (久保田 一竹, Kubota Itchiku) (1917–2003) was a Japanese textile artist. He was most famous for reviving and in part reinventing an otherwise lost late 15th- to early 16th-century textile dye technique known as tsujigahana (lit. "flowers at the crossroads"), which became the main focus for much of his life's work.[citation needed] As homage to the original tsujigahana technique and its legacy, he named the technique 'itchiku tsujigahana'.[1][2]
Kubota devised a new method of dyeing that produce unique richly coloured products, and he experimented with modern fabrics that would take well to the dyes and stitch-resist work.
