[About Kurume Kasuri]
A collection of 20 retro belt-driven power looms, connected to a single motor, operate to produce Kurume Kasuri-a traditional pre-dyed woven fabric. Established in 1948, Kurume Kasuri is a representative of Japan's renowned tradition of pre-dyed weaving. It boasts a soft texture reminiscent of hand weaving, and its production involves an intricate manual process. With over 30 steps taking 2 to 4 months to complete, this fabric is perfect for individuals seeking to create meticulously crafted pieces within Japan's rich textile tradition.

[Weaving Characteristics]
Using the "Yoko Kasuri" technique, patterns are formed by tying the weft threads (yokoito) in a special way and then weaving them using a dedicated shuttle. This technique offers a high degree of artistic freedom in expressing patterns, including floral and polka dot designs. The use of a tool called "Tongu," a wooden board-like device, to align the weft threads for pattern creation, along with the expertise of skilled artisans and tying machines, positions Kurume Kasuri as not an exaggeration to say the sole location globally preserving the pinnacle of Yoko Kasuri weaving.
