    This Kurume Kasuri fabric is woven on a retro Showa-era belt-driven power loom, where twenty looms operate simultaneously from a single motor.
    Founded in 1948, the mill is a long-established producer of Kurume Kasuri, one of Japan's representative traditional yarn-dyed textiles.
    The fabric is known for its soft texture that closely resembles handwoven cloth.
    Because many steps are done by hand, it takes more than 30 individual processes and 2 to 4 months to complete one roll.
    After weaving, all fabrics are washed in hot water and naturally sun-dried, shrinking by about 10%.
    This textile is ideal for anyone looking to create a special piece rooted in traditional Japanese craftsmanship.


    This design features ombre stripes created by combining light and dark tones of similar colors.
    Bokashi-shima refers to stripes arranged so that the colors gradually shift from one to another.
    The word shima (stripe) originates from vertically striped cotton textiles brought from overseas during the Nanban trade period. These were called shimamono - meaning"goods brought from the islands" - and the term later evolved into shima during the Edo period.


    Warp yarn: 40/2
    Weft yarn: 16/1
    Fabric thickness: Standard
    Chemical dyes: 100%
    Finished with hot-water washing and sun-drying (shrinks about 10%, allowing cutting and sewing immediately after purchase).
    Color: Brown-green, Gray 1387
