An old-fashioned, Showa-era retro belt-driven power loom, consisting of 20 units connected to a single motor, operates here. This is the Kurume Kurokami weaving workshop, established in the 23rd year of the Showa era, known for its representation of traditional pre-dyed Japanese textiles.Its hallmark is a soft texture reminiscent of hand weaving. With a manual process that involves multiple steps, it takes 2 to 4 months to complete more than 30 processes. Once woven, the fabric is naturally shrunk by about 10% through a process of hot water treatment and air drying.They are also committed to supporting aspiring entrepreneurs. For those who wish to create a unique piece with a profound appreciation for traditional Japanese textiles, this fabric is a perfect fit.Warp Threads: 40/2 Weft Threads: 20/1Weaving Width: Approximately 37-38 cm100% CottonSold in 6-meter units.The Notesed price is per 6 meters.Please note that actual items may appear slightly different in color from the images.Thank you for your understanding.Black, Ox, Light Purple: 1363
