Once a year, Kurume kasuri studios open their doors to the public. On this particular occasion, you can take a closer look at how the artisans practice their craft. Try your hand at weaving or dyeing fabric in the characteristic indigo hue. Browse for textiles, accessories, and men\u2019s and women\u2019s clothes at bargain prices too.
