Product description: | [About Kurume Kasuri] Kurume Kasuri is a traditional pre-dyed woven fabric that originates from Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan. The distinctive feature of this fabric lies in its production process, where a set of twenty power looms, linked together by a single motor, creates a nostalgic and retro belt-driven weaving experience reminiscent of the Showa era. Founded in the 23rd year of the Showa period (1948), Kurume Kasuri Orimoto has become an emblematic representative of Japan's rich heritage of traditional pre-dyed textiles. Notable for its soft and supple texture, which resembles the quality of handwoven fabrics, Kurume Kasuri requires a labor-intensive process involving more than thirty stages of craftsmanship, spanning a duration of two to four months. This textile is a perfect choice for individuals seeking to create a piece that embodies the essence of Japanese tradition. [Weaving Characteristics] The defining technique of Kurume Kasuri is "tategasuri," also known as "board kasuri," where intricate patterns are achieved solely through warp threads (tateito). [Specifications] Warp Threads: 40/2 Weft Threads: 16/1 Slub Yarn Fabric Thickness: Standard Chemically Dyed, 100% Cotton Fabric Width: Approximately 37-38 cm Finished with hot water washing and sun drying (approximately 10% shrinkage), facilitating direct sewing after purchase.
