Experience the charm of Kurume Kasuri
Kurume Kasuri is one of Japan's traditional crafts. It is a 100% cotton fabric made in the Chikugo region in the southern part of Fukuoka Prefecture. Kasuri weaving flourished in this region thanks to the blessings of the Chikugo River, the longest river in Kyushu, which flows through the Chikugo region. The rich soil and clean water are said to be very suitable for producing kasuri. By dyeing the threads before weaving, subtle misalignment is created, and the fabric has become popular as a unique fabric.
In addition, Kurume Kasuri is not printed on the woven fabric, but the threads are dyed first and then the weaving pattern is created. The fabric, tightly woven with warp and weft threads, is very strong, and in the past, after its role as a kimono was over, it was mended and used as a futon cover, and was used for a long time. The fabric is also characterized by its softness. After weaving, the starch is removed by boiling, so it is soft and fluffy to the touch from the beginning, and the texture improves the more it is used.
Made of such fabric, Giemon is durable, light, strong, and washable, and is a masterpiece that you will want to use and grow for a long time, passing it on from parent to child and then to the child, repairing and caring for it, and feeling how it becomes more tasteful over time.
