What is shibori?
According to Japan Objects, the Japanese term "shibori" means to wring or squeeze. Their article, "5 Things You Should Know about Japanese Indigo Dyeing," explained how the shibori originated, the difference between regular tie-dye and shibori, and its techniques.
"The tie-dye we know from the 1960s generally uses one more straightforward technique of twisting and tying the middle of the shirt to create a psychedelic spiral design. Finally, while tie-dye tends to draw from the entire rainbow color spectrum, more often than not, the shibori dye is only one color." - Japan Objects
