Kurume kasuri

Kasuri is one of Japan’s most iconic textile traditions. Unlike printed fabrics, each thread is individually dyed before weaving, resulting in patterns with soft edges and a color that lasts. OKAMOTO SHOTEN continues this expertise in Kurume. See the pouches and cases.

A collaboration with ROBINSON

These kasuri pouches are developed with the in-house label ROBINSON and the OKAMOTO SHOTEN workshop, to combine traditional textile with contemporary use. See also the accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is kasuri?

Kasuri is a Japanese textile technique where each thread is individually dyed before weaving, according to a precise plan. Once woven, the threads form patterns with slightly blurred edges, deep and lasting. It is one of Japan’s most respected textile traditions.

Who is OKAMOTO SHOTEN?

OKAMOTO SHOTEN is a historic Japanese textile workshop specializing in Kurume kasuri. Their expertise creates pouches developed in collaboration with the in-house label ROBINSON, combining a weaving tradition with a contemporary everyday object.

How is kasuri different from printed fabric?

On printed fabric, the pattern is applied after weaving. In kasuri, the threads themselves are dyed before being woven. The pattern is therefore part of the material, with softer edges and durability that printing does not offer.

Are OKAMOTO SHOTEN pouches a good gift?

Yes, a kasuri pouch is a refined and meaningful gift for those who appreciate beautiful textiles and Japanese craftsmanship. The weaving expertise and collaboration with ROBINSON make it a unique item, both useful and carrying a true story.
