Comment: Silk salt-shrinking is a traditional Japanese process called "Enshuku" used traditionally for finishing crepe silk with sea-water. This textile was made by applying a resist to form the patterns then immersing the fabric in a calcium nitrate solution that attacks the exposed areas causing them to shrink dramatically.
