[Weaving Characteristics]
Creating patterns using the "Yoko Kasuri" technique by binding the weft threads (Yokoito) to form designs and weaving with a dedicated shuttle. This method, also known as "Egasuri," offers a high degree of design flexibility, including floral patterns and polka dots. The technique of aligning weft threads with a wooden tube known as a "tong" and weaving on a specialized power loom while fine-tuning the patterns represents a culmination of the binding machinery and skilled artisans. Globally, it's no exaggeration to say that Kurume Kasuri preserves the pinnacle of Kasuri weaving technology into the modern era.
