About the products

The textile is called "Kurume Kasuri”, also known as “ikat”. It originates from the area of Kurume, a city in Fukuoka prefecture, and is made using a traditional ikat-weaving-machine (which is a 100 years old!). Kurume Kasuri is the traditional textile from this region. The width of the material is quite narrow, because it is often used for kimono's. 

Ikat is made of 100% cotton, it is not too thick, but still strong. It is ideal for interior or clothing items, such as a shawl.
