SHIMOGAWA KURUME KASURI Fabric 60/2 2 Combined Thread White Indigo Color

[About Kurume Kasuri]
Kurume Kasuri is a traditional pre-dyed textile known for its handwoven-like soft texture. The production involves a collection of 20 belt-driven power looms connected to a single motor, creating a retro Showa-era setting. The Kurume Kasuri weaving mill was established in 1948 and is renowned as one of Japan's representative traditional pre-dyed textile manufacturers. This fabric is characterized by its soft and delicate texture, resembling handwoven craftsmanship. The intricate manufacturing process includes numerous manual steps, taking 2 to 4 months and more than 30 procedures to complete. After weaving, the fabrics are subjected to a hot water treatment and naturally dried, resulting in approximately 10% shrinkage, providing the final touch to the product.

[Weaving Characteristics]
The warp (vertical threads) employs fine yarn, known as 60/2 count, and is skillfully combined with various color arrangements in both the warp and weft (horizontal threads) to create a chambray effect, giving the fabric a glossy appearance. The 2-ply series showcases an original and distinctive weaving pattern, achieved by innovative winding techniques in the weft.

Please note that the chambray effect may cause color perception to vary depending on the angle and intensity of light, as well as the orientation of the fabric. For this reason, images have been carefully selected from multiple shots to represent the fabric accurately, considering different color perceptions and appearances based on angles and lighting conditions. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
