Summary
[edit]DescriptionBingata kimono Okinawa.png |
This bingata kimono (detail) dates from the 19th century, potentially within the period of the Ryukyu Kingdom, with cloth made from ramie, a plant fiber native to East Asia. Okinawan royal authorities set exacting standards for bingata, making them desirable trade goods. Drawing on Okinawa’s strong trading ties to China, Japan, India and Indonesia, bingata masters incorporated technical expertise from those countries while producing unique motifs based on local flora and fauna. |
