Vintage Indigo Kurume Kasuri Collarless Jacket
This jacket is made from vintage Kimono silk. Kurume Kasuri is a traditional technique that dates back over 200 years has been handed down over the generations. As recognition of the historical and artistic value of the technique, the national government designated Kurume Kasuri as an important intangible cultural property in 1957.
The patterns are created from a hand weaving process called Kasuri 絣. Kasuri is a term for textiles that have been woven with threads that are dyed specifically to create patterns in the fabric as they come together in the weaving process. It requires a tremendous amount of planning as threads have to be pre-painted exactly to achieve the final pattern. It’s characterized by a slightly blurred or brushed appearance, the beautiful mark of imperfections in hand-weaving.
The jacket features two patch pockets and extra wide sleeves
