This premier festival showcases Kurume Kasuri, a distinguished traditional craft, uniting 25 expert weavers and distributors in a grand celebration of this artisanal textile. This year, under the banner “The Thrill of Kasuri,” the event is set to dazzle with a lineup of 100 new fabric rolls, each boasting unique patterns. The festival features an exciting fashion show with local student models parading the latest designs, alongside opportunities to purchase Kurume Kasuri fabric sold by the meter, as well as specially priced garments like traditional work pants, stylish bags, and various accessories. For added convenience, a complimentary shuttle bus service will be available on the day of the event, facilitating easy access between the venue and both JR and Nishitetsu Kurume stations, with departures every 30 minutes from 9:20 am.
