Shimaori Check, a new apparel brand that updates the traditional textile of Kurume shimaori to modern daily life, is on exhibit inside Manu Coffee in Chuo Ward. The brand was launched as a project to reinvigorate the Chikugo-born weaving tradition. Students and a designer in Fukuoka created ten items with four different checkered patterns. Exhibited items can be purchased via its crowdfunding website. Shimaori Check is also eager to sell the clothes of Kurume shimaori internationally. Source: Makuake / Manu Coffee
