Abstract
Bingata weaving, Okinawa. Dating from the 14th century, this traditional Okinawan-style dyed cloth, is made using stencils. It is generally bright-colored featuring natural subjects such as fish, water, and flowers. The techniques used are thought to have originated in Southeast Asia (possibly Java), or China or India and arrived in Okinawa through trade. Bingata is worn during traditional Okinawan artistic and historical performances.
