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.
These are old stock from the
mid-Showa era (1950's) but new - never used, found in warehouses and garment factories in Japan.
