Changes

Textiles are traditionally dyed or decorated in a variety of ways as well. ''[[Bingata]]'', a form of resist dyeing in which a paste-like material is used with a stencil to control which areas would be dyed, is perhaps the most famous, and involves boldly colorful patterns, often against a boldly yellow or pink ground; ''bingata'' is strongly associated with the aristocracy. Meanwhile, Ryûkyû is also known for its ''hana-ui'' brocades, ''ro'' gauze weaving, and ''[[kasuri]]'' or ikat, a form of resist-dyeing in which the threads are dyed first, before being woven into the garment, creating geometric and other patterns in a two-tone (e.g. indigo and undyed white) palette.

Another particular type of silk cloth associated with Ryûkyû is known as ''tabii'' (二彩 or タビー). Originally a famous product of China's [[Guangdong province]], it was among the chief types of textiles transshipped through or exported by Ryûkyû.<ref>Kamiya Nobuyuki, ''Ryûkyû to Nihon, Chûgoku'' 琉球と日本・中国, Yamakawa Shuppansha (2008), 60.</ref>
