Pocket

• What is a Tsumami zome?
  Kobana tsumami zome theme is a nostalgically Japanese Kasuri; it looks like antique patterns. This pattern is based on the one 80 years ago.
• How is it build?
  A Tsumami zome is half twine and partially yarn died; Black and white parts come out from this yarn and then the yarn is hand dyed to bring the 3rd color. Only a few artisan have this skill, so it’s very rare and valuable. .
• Specific effect
  Only Kurume Gasuri (Kasuri in Kurume area) has carried over this looming style. Kasuri is plain waving, so surface is normally flat, but using partially dyed yarn by part, it has a 3D effect.
