    Kurume Kasuri is woven on retro belt-driven power looms from the Showa era, with twenty looms running from a single motor. The mill was founded in 1948 and continues to produce one of Japan's most representative yarn-dyed textiles. The fabric is known for its soft, handwoven-like texture. Because many of the processes are done manually, production requires more than thirty steps and takes two to four months to complete. This textile is ideal for those who wish to create special pieces using traditional Japanese craftsmanship.


    This fabric is dyed with genuine indigo using the traditional fermentation method, with artisans hand-dyeing the yarn in indigo vats. The warp yarn is dyed with natural indigo, while the weft yarn is dyed using chemical dyes, making the fabric less prone to fading.


    Kurume Kasuri indigo dyeing follows the"fermentation vat" method, the most labor-intensive and traditional technique. Indigo displays a beautiful range of tones, from robust depth to refined elegance. In the Kamakura period, warriors wore kachi-iro (a deep indigo tone) beneath their armor. Indigo was believed to have anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and hemostatic properties, and kachi (indigo) was associated with victory, making it auspicious. Because indigo repels insects and snakes, it was especially valued in mountain and farm work, and it was also cherished for bridal trousseaus under the belief that"insects do not cling." Its excellent heat retention and gentle feel on the skin made it suitable even for baby clothing.
