No fewer than 30 steps are needed to successfully create a Kasuri weave, which involves the independent placement of colored motifs on the warp and on the weft. This traditional double Ikat technique offers a wide range of possibilities and compositions thanks to various yarn dyeing techniques. Shimogawa Orimono is contributing to the international recognition of Kasuri by expanding its collaborations with textile designers, fashion houses and artists outside Japan, adapting the tradition to clothing designers' creative requirements.
