Farmers' MONPE Kurume Kasuri Jigori / turquoise / eel bed

Cool and smooth texture "Chijimi

Compared to regular Kurume Kasuri, Kurume Kasuri has an uneven texture, which makes it less sticky and cooler when sweating.

Using an old-style shuttle loom, the fabric is loosely and softly woven while containing air, and the more it is used, the more it will fit snugly and comfortably to the body. It is especially useful in summer because it dries quickly and has good air permeability and water absorbency.

Vertical and horizontal two-color threads. Rich expression

Kurume Kasuri Chijimi is woven by combining warp and weft yarns of different colors. In turquoise, green is used for the warp and purple for the weft, and you can enjoy the expression that changes depending on the angle of view and the way the light hits the fabric.

Kurume Kasuri Chijimi

Kurume Kasuri Chijimi has an uneven texture compared to regular Kurume Kasuri, making it less sticky even when sweating and giving it a light, cool feel.

The secret behind the unevenness of the plain weave fabric is the "thread tension. The secret behind the unevenness of the flat-weave fabric lies in the tension of the threads.
In ordinary Kurume Kasuri, the warp and weft are woven with the same tension, but in Chijimi weaving, the warp is woven with two types of warp yarns of different tension. The warp threads are arranged alternately in a taut and a slightly relaxed state. The difference between the tension and the warp tension creates the unevenness of the fabric, which gives it a crisp texture.

Noguchi Orimono (Textiles, Kurume Kasuri fabric/Hirokawa Town , Fukuoka Prefecture)

Noguchi Orimono, which has a workshop in Hirokawa-cho, Yame-gun, is a weaving company that mainly produces "yoko-gasuri," which uses only the weft to produce the pattern. While neighboring kasuri weavers are quitting one after another, Noguchi keeps the basics of manufacturing and continues to make his own arrangements, producing bunjin patterns using the "kakuri" method instead of the usual "weave and tighten" method and Kurume kasuri "chijimi" for summer use. The company also produces Kurume Kasuri, a summer patterned fabric, as well as Chijin.
