This special event sees four Kurume Kasuri workshops located in the Chikugo region open up their doors to the public. Various kinds of fabrics will be on sale at discount prices during this festival of textiles. Sessions will also be taking place to give visitors the chance to try out the aizome indigo dying process on handkerchiefs and t-shirts. This is a great opportunity to pick up amazing bargains with some Kurume Kasuri items set to be reduced by up to 40%. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the beautiful countryside in between tours of the participating workshops.
