Cotton Fabric - 16 Slub Solid Pomegranate

[About Kurume Kasuri]
A retro belt-driven power loom system from the Showa era, where 20 looms operate from a single motor.
This Kurume Kasuri weaving workshop was founded in 1948.
It is one of Japan's representative traditional yarn-dyed textiles.
Features a soft texture close to handwoven fabric.
With over 30 mostly manual processes, each fabric takes 2-4 months to complete.

[About Solid Kurume Kasuri]
Kurume Kasuri is known for its "kukuri" (binding) technique that creates a wide variety of intricate patterns,
but even when woven on a power loom, it retains a handwoven-like softness.
Processes such as warping, weaving, and finishing are carried out with minimal stress on the yarn,
and many steps are performed by hand.
This texture, passed down through generations of artisans, has earned recognition among many fabric enthusiasts.
Even for solid and striped fabrics without the kukuri process,
the same artisans complete the weaving and finishing with the same careful methods,
resulting in a distinctive softness.

[About Mura Yarn]
Mura yarn has intentionally varied thicknesses - thick and thin sections placed randomly.
Before modern spinning techniques, these irregularities occurred naturally,
and were characteristic of the vertical fading seen in vintage denim.
With today's trend toward natural textures, hand-spun-like Mura yarn has regained attention.
Shmogawa Orimono actively incorporates Mura yarn - previously rare in Kurume Kasuri -
into Tategasuri, solid, and stripe designs,
while also focusing on the distinct characteristics that differ among spinning companies.
