KURUME KASURI Fabric - Next Kiri Asparagus Green

[About Kurume Kasuri]
Kurume Kasuri is a traditional pre-dyed textile representing Japan, woven on a retro belt-driven power loom with twenty units connected to a single motor. Founded in 1948, it originates from Kurume and is known for its soft and handwoven-like texture. The intricate production process involves numerous manual steps, taking 2 to 4 months to complete over 30 processes. After weaving, the fabric undergoes a natural drying process with hot water treatment, resulting in approximately 10% shrinkage. This fabric is perfect for those who seek to create a carefully crafted traditional Japanese piece.

[Characteristics of the Weaving]
It employs fine 60/2 count yarns for the weft, giving a glossy finish. The combination of 5 to 7 colors in both warp and weft creates a thin fabric with rich and deep color tones. The weaving is done without any unevenness or bumps, emphasizing the shiny appearance. This formal type is called "kiri" in Shimogawa Orimono, referring to the combined yarn weaving.
