Ikat is the predecessor to Kasuri techniques and was first develop during the reign of the Ryukyu Kingdom (modern day Okinawa), around 1200AD. Traditional Japanese fabrics have been produced with this techniques for centuries by highly skilled artisans and is a renowned and revered material for the Japanese.
