Ota tie-dye is a hand-crafted dyeing technique in which thread is tightly tied around fabric to resist dye, creating unique patterns when the thread is removed. Each piece reflects the warmth and skill of the artisan, with subtle variations in tension and dye absorption giving every design a one-of-a-kind charm. Influenced by Arimatsu Narumi tie-dyeing, Ota tie-dye has preserved its traditional methods for over 100 years.
