DESCRIPTION:The &lt;em&gt;bingata&lt;/em&gt; method of textile dyeing is a vibrant ar
 tistic tradition with a long history on Japan’s subtropical Okinawan isl

  class of the Ryukyu Kingdom\, these traditional hand-dyeing techniques ar
 e still being carried on by craftspeople in Okinawa today. In commemoratio

 em&gt;bingata&lt;/em&gt; with textile specialist Ginny Soenksen\, and &lt;em&gt;bingat
