Kasuri Japanese Fabric

Japanese Kasuri Fabric

Beautifully woven Kasuri created using the authentic, traditional Japanese methods. Each thread is dyed before weaving. Knowing where the threads will cross in the non-dyed segments when woven together creates the pattern.

What's the difference between Kasuri and Ikat?

Kasuri (絣) is a Japanese word for fabric that has been woven with fibers dyed specifically to create patterns and images in the fabric. It is an ikat technique. Kasuri is weft ikat; the warp threads are solid color, and the weft thread is resist-tied in a specific pattern and dyed with indigo to form a picture when the cloth is woven. Japanese ikats are generally weft ikats or double ikats.

PLEASE NOTE: Unused kasuri has a stiff, crisp feel due to the weaving and indigo dyeing process.
To soften the fabric, wash in warm water and add a little fabric softener.
Wash separately, as there may be some bleeding of the indigo color.
The more the fabric is worn and handled, the softer it will become.
