As mask shortages continue amid COVID-19 expansion, a local textile maker has come up with a creative response to the challenge. Rooring Factory Shop, which produces clothes and other fashion items using a hybrid of Kurume-ori and Kurume-kasuri textiles, developed a reusable mask. Named ‘Samurai Mask,’ the product is available at Jibasan Kurume (including Kurume City Plaza-mae shop and JR Kurume Sta. shop) and few other local shops. Source: Roofing Factory Shop
