[About Kurume Kasuri]Twenty looms, connected by a single motor, operate these retro Showa-era belt-driven power looms. Established in the 23rd year of the Showa era (1948), Kurume Kasuri has been producing traditional pre-dyed woven textiles that represent Japan. Known for its soft texture reminiscent of handwoven fabrics, it undergoes a manual process with over 30 steps, taking 2 to 4 months to complete. The finished fabric is subjected to a process of hot water and natural drying, resulting in approximately 10% shrinkage. This fabric is an ideal choice for those who seek to create a meticulously crafted piece with a touch of Japanese tradition.[Weaving Characteristics]"Kataha" refers to using a single thread. By alternating two colors in the warp threads, a technique unique to pre-dyed fabrics, it achieves a rich color depth that cannot be achieved with a single color. The warp threads are black and oxblood, while the weft threads use slub yarn to create a three-dimensional effect. Warp: Black, Oxblood, Weft: Shouai 8A.[Specifications]Warp Threads: 40/2, Weft Threads: 16/1 SlubFabric Thickness Indication: Standard100% Chemically Dyed Cotton100% CottonWeaving Width: Approximately 38 cmFinished with Hot Water and Sun Drying (Shrinkage of approximately 10% allows for immediate cutting and sewing after purchase)[Notes]Sold in units of 6 metersPrice is per 6 metersPlease be aware that there may be slight color variations between the actual product and the photographs.
