    A retro Showa-era belt-driven power-loom system with 20 looms connected to a single motor.
    Founded in 1948, this Kurume Kasuri mill produces one of Japan's representative traditional yarn-dyed textiles.
    It features a soft texture close to handwoven fabric.
    With many manual processes, it takes over 30 steps and 2 - 4 months to complete each bolt.


    A type of cotton fabric. When highly twisted weft yarns are used to create surface"shibo" texture, the fabric is called cotton chijimi.
    Among these, those with vertical"shibo" are called"Yoryu," named because the texture resembles overlapping willow leaves.


    Naturally crinkled texture with elasticity, making it durable.
    The uneven surface prevents the fabric from clinging to the skin, giving a smooth and airy feel.
    Excellent moisture absorption, quick-drying properties, and cool comfort.


    Introduced to Japan during the Azuchi - Momoyama period by Chinese weavers.
    It suited Japan's hot and humid climate and became widely used across the country during the Edo period.


    Also known as Shosei-gasuri, it was originally worn as men's kimono fabric.
    It is said to have been named because writers such as Osamu Dazai favored it.
    Unlike typical Kurume Kasuri, which creates patterns using the kukuri (binding) technique, Bunjin-gasuri uses techniques called orinuki and orijime.
    A woven fabric is once dyed in indigo; when the weft is unraveled, the intersections with the warp remain undyed, forming tiny patterns.
    These intervals are mathematically designed in advance - a highly intricate technique.
    It is said that this method later influenced the development of Oshima Tsumugi techniques in Kagoshima.


    Warp: 40/2
    Weft: 30/1 high-twist yarn
    Fabric thickness: standard + soft
    Chemical dye 90%, indigo dye 15%
    Cotton 100%
    Width: approx. 37 cm (shrinks to about 30 cm due to Yoryu texture)
    Finished with hot-water treatment and sun-drying
    Stole length: approx. 170 cm (including fringe), with slight variation due to fabric characteristics.
