Shibori is an ancient traditional Japanese technique and has had some African influences. It's a dyeing technique created by folding and clamping two planks in any shape onto the folded garment but can give different prints by its binding. In the US in the ’60s, Tie Dye was derived from the Shibori technique and is a more straightforward technique of twisting and tying. This can be done with Bleach on darker clothes, as a replacement for dye. Using bleach as a replacement for dye is an excellent way of giving darker-toned clothing a second life. We know bleach is harmful to the environment, but throwing away a garment still weighs heavier than bleach.
