Itchiku Kubota

Itchiku Kubota (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, which became the main focus for much of his life's work. As homage to the original tsujigahana technique and its legacy, he named the technique 'itchiku tsujigahana'.
