Shibori is a Japanese term of dyeing cloth with a pattern by several methods like binding, stitching, folding, twisting or compressing it.
Cloth records the shape and pressure that was applied to it as a pattern/texture.
It is a mechanical/structural resist.
Tie-dyeing has evolved in many cultures around the world, and can be seen on fabrics made thousands of years ago in Latin America, Africa, India, China and around Asia.

For one of my short workshop courses in school, I explored three shibori techniques on both cotton and silk fabrics –
Arashi which is also called pole-wrapping technique
Nui Shibori which is the stitch resist technique and
Nui Shibori which is the stitch resist technique and
Itajime which uses clamping and is also called shapes-resist technique
