Kasuri is a thread resist technique used to create patterns in yarn dyed fabrics. Its most distinguishing feature is its blurred edges. The fabric Kasuri is woven with the ikat-like resist lines in the weft, forming a subtle stripe perpendicular to the selvage. The muted colors are reminiscent of clear green tea and miso broth, both of which are known to soothe the body and soul. Despite its fragile appearance, Kasuri is durable enough to be used in heavy duty use areas.
