The beauty of Kasuri

A unique Kasuri shawl made of Kurume Kasuri, a patchwork of indigo-dyed fabric and modern Kasuri fabric with checks and stripes. This shawl consists of 4 different colored patterns and is designed with a total of 12 pieces of fabric connected together. The plaid pattern has yellow as an accent when wrapped, and the striped glitter thread is casually gorgeous. Combined with the calming atmosphere of indigo dyeing, this shawl has a unique and mature look.

The 200cm length is enough to wrap around your neck twice. The washed finish of the product and the slightly different thickness of the four types of fabric make it easy to fit around your neck when wrapped, making the Kasuri shawl feel comfortable from the start.
The shawl is made of 100% cotton and is useful for protection from the cold, as it creates a good layer of air, making it useful from autumn to winter. Also, with repeated use and washing, the color will blend in with Kasuri fabric, so I hope it will become my favorite just like denim.

Experience the charm of Kurume Kasuri

Kurume Kasuri, which many people associate with Monpe cloth, is one of Japan's traditional crafts. A 100% cotton fabric made in the Chikugo region of southern Fukuoka Prefecture. Kasuri weaving flourished in this region thanks to the blessings of the Chikugo River, the longest river in Kyushu that flows through the Chikugo region. The rich soil and clean water are said to be ideal for producing Kasuri. By dyeing the thread first and then weaving it, a subtle misalignment is created, and it has gained popularity as a textile with a unique expression.

In addition, Kurume Kasuri is not printed on the woven fabric, but rather the threads are dyed first and then the woven pattern is created. The fabric, which is tightly woven with warp and weft threads, is very durable, and in the past, after its role as a kimono, it was mended and used as a futon cover for a long time. Moreover, the fabric is characterized by its softness. After weaving, Kurume Kasuri is blanched to remove the glue, so it feels fluffy and soft to the touch from the beginning, and the more you use it, the more the texture becomes even more.
Giemon's Kasuri shawls are made from such fabrics and are highly durable, lightweight, strong, and washable.They can be passed down from parents to children while being repaired and cared for, and while enjoying the way they become more appealing over time. This is a masterpiece that you will want to pass down to your children and cherish for a long time.
