Shibori is the collective term in Japanese for tie-dye, stitch-dye, fold-dye, pole wrap-dye, etc. It is translated into English as shaped-resist dyeing, because no comparable embracing term exists in English. World Shibori Network (WSN) is a grassroots organization formed in 1992 in Japan at the time of the first International Shibori Symposium. Our main goal is to create a network of artisans, designers, business people, schools, exhibitions to work together to support traditional cottage industires of tie&dye, which have roots in many parts of the world.
