KURUME KASURI Fabric - Next Kiri Umenezu

[About Kurume Kasuri]
Kurume Kasuri is a traditional pre-dyed woven fabric, produced using a retro belt-driven power loom system where twenty looms are connected to a single motor. It was established in 1948 and is a representative of Japan's renowned traditional pre-dyed woven textiles. The fabric is known for its soft texture, reminiscent of handwoven pieces. The production process involves numerous manual steps, taking 2 to 4 months and over 30 stages to complete. After weaving, the fabric undergoes a natural shrinkage of about 10% through a hot water treatment and natural drying process. They also offer support for entrepreneurs, making this fabric perfect for those seeking to create meticulously crafted products with a touch of Japanese tradition.

[Characteristics of Weaving]
Kurume Kasuri uses fine-threaded yarn called 60/2 for the weft, resulting in a glossy finish. The fabric is woven in 5 to 7 colors, creating a thin yet deep color combination. They emphasize the glossiness by achieving a flat, non-textured weave. This type of weaving, called "kiri" by Shimogawa Orimono, is categorized as formal wear.
