Bingo Fushiori
Bingo Kasuri is one of Japan's three major Kasuri fabrics, along with Kurume Kasuri and Iyo Kasuri. It has been produced in the area of Shinichi, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture since the Edo period. There used to be many weavers and mass production, but now only two manufacturers are left that continue to machine weave, preserving the traditional manufacturing method that starts with the dyeing process.
Japanese colours dyed with natural indigo, persimmon tannin, and ink
The Bingo Fushiori production process begins with dyeing the boiled raw silk. Natural indigo from Tokushima, persimmon tannin from Hiroshima, and ink are used to make the necessary dyes. The colour is greatly influenced by the weather as the silk is dried in the sun to blend the colour. The production speed can also be influenced as waiting for favourable weather can be necessary.
Slowly and carefully woven, soft cotton texture
Threads are woven using an old-fashioned shuttle loom from the 1950s. By weaving slowly, it makes the fabric’s texture soft and airy. However, because the weaving speed is slow, one machine can only weave one roll (approximately 30m) per day. It is a very valuable fabric with a very limited produced quantity due to the many processes that are handled by hand.
