[About Kurume Kasuri]Kurume Kasuri originates from the weaving establishment founded in 1948, operating with a set of 20 interconnected retro-style power looms driven by a single motor, evoking the Showa era. This craft represents traditional pre-dyed woven textiles from Japan, characterized by a soft texture reminiscent of hand-weaving. With its intricate manual processes, spanning over 30 steps and taking 2 to 4 months to complete, Kurume Kasuri is an excellent choice for those seeking to create unique and meticulously crafted traditional Japanese pieces.[Weaving Characteristics]The "Tategami" technique, where patterns are expressed solely using warp threads, is also referred to as "itagasuri." By using 30/2 for the pattern threads and 40/2 for the ground threads, the fabric achieves a subtle textured appearance and accentuates the pattern's colors.[Specifications]Warp Thread: 40/2, 30/2Weft Thread: 20/1Fabric Thickness: Standard+, Soft100% Chemical Dye100% CottonWidth: Approximately 37~38 cmFinished with hot water and sun drying (Shrinks by about 10%, allowing for direct cutting and sewing after purchase)[Notes]Sold in 6-meter incrementsPrices are per 6 metersColors may appear slightly different in real life compared to photos.40/2 Dark Brown #1200B Warp, 30/2 Black and White Warp, 20/1 Black Weft
