Indigo Kurume Crosshatch Kasuri Kimono

Indigo Kurume Crosshatch Kasuri Kimono

R1 600,00Price
This kimono is woven from kasuri (ikat) cotton in the distinctive Kurume kasuri style — a celebrated regional craft from Kyushu known for its precision-dyed threads and understated beauty. Its deep indigo ground is interwoven with fine white threads to form a soft crosshatch grid, each line slightly blurred by the thread-dyeing process.
The result is a misted, heathered texture that recalls weathered denim or a quiet sky before rain — no raised weave, only the harmony of warp and weft meeting in deliberate imperfection.
Likely from the mid- to late Shōwa era (1950s–1980s), this piece embodies the enduring appeal of handwoven Kurume kasuri: practical, durable, and deeply poetic in its simplicity.
A kimono of quiet craftsmanship — where every thread tells of rhythm, patience, and the art of seeing beauty in restraint.

  • Condition

    Good vintage condition — light, age-related wear.

  • Sizing

    Kimonos are traditionally designed to be loose and unstructured, which makes them naturally one size fits most. They suit a wide range of body shapes and styles, regardless of gender. The main difference between each piece is the length, so be sure to check the listed length to find the fit and look you prefer.

  • Care Instructions

    Cleaning: Avoid washing your kimono. If you must, dry clean only by a specialist familiar with Japanese textiles. Avoid machine or hand washing.

    Stains: Gently blot stains with a soft cloth; avoid rubbing. Seek professional help for stubborn stains.

    Storage: Store flat in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture. Use a breathable garment bag.

    Hanging: Use a wide, padded hanger if hanging to avoid stretching.

    Airing: Air occasionally in a shaded area to prevent odors.
