Fusa Tomo 37 x 60cm Fusa Nashi 37 x 49cm The history of Bingo Mingei Hand-woven Kasuri (Bingo Kasuri) began in the fifth year of Genwa (1619), when Katsunari Mizuno, the lord of Fukuyama Castle, encouraged the cultivation of cotton for the development of local industries. At the same time, the Tokugawa shogunate issued a ban on the use of rope cloth, which further promoted the cultivation of cotton in the province of Bingo. After that, research on textiles was advanced, and various ideas and efforts were made, but it was a difficult path. In the sixth year of Kaei (1853), the manufacturing method was devised by Kuzaburo Tomita of Bingo Province, and finally, as one of the three major kasuri in Japan, the exquisite floating weave of kasuri came to be widely praised by the general public. From dyeing to weaving, it is done using traditional methods. Hand-weaving with a foot-powered loom embodies the simple sincerity of the weaver, It is a woman's work from ancient times, but it is said that when the mind wanders, the kasuri also scatters. This work is a tablecloth that designs the "rose" flower, which is the symbol of Fukuyama City, and brings it to life in kasuri. We hope you will cherish it and use it for a long time.
