Kurume Kasuri is a traditional Japanese textile produced mainly in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, and is known for its distinctive ikat-style patterns created through a meticulous dye-resist technique. Developed in the early 19th century, the craft involves binding sections of cotton threads before dyeing, so that when the threads are woven, they form soft-edged geometric or pictorial designs. This labor-intensive process—often requiring hundreds of steps—results in fabrics with subtle irregularities that showcase the handmade character of the cloth. Kurume Kasuri is valued for its durability, breathability, and understated beauty, making it popular for clothing, interior goods, and contemporary fashion. Today, it is recognized as an important intangible cultural property of Japan, and artisans continue to preserve and innovate within this historic weaving tradition.
