Banshu-ori is known for its yarn-dyed process whereby pre-dyed yarns are woven into patterned textiles. Interweaving warp and weft yarns of different colours and materials produces a wide array of expressive designs. Stripes and checks are a speciality, with the overlapping threads creating a delicate richness.
