Tsujigahana is a variety of kimono created by the technique of shibori. The extravagant patterns were rather more picturesque and it was more eye-catching than other ordinary kinds of kimono. Tsujigahana technique is in a shroud of mystery as it is not clearly known who invented it or why it was called Tsujigahana.

Techniques such as resist-dyeing are commonly used. These techniques range from intricate shibori tie-dye to rice paste resist-dyeing (yūzen etc.). Though other forms of resist, such as wax-resist dye techniques, are also seen in kimono, forms of shibori and yūzen are the most commonly seen. [citation needed]
Batik, shibori and tie-dye are among many styles of resist dyeing. [3] [4] Wax or grease can also be used as a resist in pottery, to keep some areas free from a ceramic glaze; the wax burns away when the piece is fired. [5] Song dynasty Jizhou ware used paper cut-outs and leaves as resists or stencils under glaze to create patterns. [6]
Tritik, or stitch resist, is a resist dyeing technique in which a line of stitches is gathered tightly before dyeing, creating a negative design in the dyed fabric. [1] It is similar to the Japanese resist technique shibori. Traditionally two hand stitches are used for tritik: running stitch and whip stitch. [2]
