KASURI" is the most traditional style of fabric from Japan, that was registered as intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1957.
The name is said to come from the way dyed fibres create patterns that seem"scratched / faded (Kasu-reru)".
Kasuri from Kurume region is especially distinctive, in the way vertical and horizontal threads are woven to create patterns that are highly complex, providing visual interest, as well as provide excellent wearing comfort, that improves as they age.

We will be showcasing a series of significant hand-worked fabrics from Sakata Orimono for the first time in NYC with CEO/craftman of Sakata Orimono, Kazuo Sakata on site. It is a very rare opportunity to see and learn more about this history, and dicuss possible collaboration with them.

Fabrics, napkins and Kimono-style jacket will be exhibited.
