<B>◇The Mild Harmony of Cotton and Natural Indigo</B><P>
Iyo-Kasuri, one of the three famous cotton ikat cloths in Japan, originated 190 years ago and has been loved by people for its natural touch and beautiful indigo color. Cotton threads are carefully dyed with ai (Japanese indigo plant) and painstakingly woven into Iyo-Kasuri, and this traditional method of crafting contributes to its unique attractiveness. Today, with the development of more colorful kasuri and patterns, Iyo-Kasuri has increased its popularity among people of various ages, by using it in Japanese accessories and for interior decoration.
