Indigo Kasane Quilt
Seven columns of pieced rectangular cotton segments, reinforced throughout with a running stitch, with smaller applique squares added using a variation of embroidery.
Made in Indian handwoven cotton in three naturally-dyed Indigo shades and Japanese warp kasuri (ikat) Polka Dot Blue and Blue Grain. Columns are made to utilise the full width of kasuri, which are woven on looms that are characteristically narrow, allowing the weaver to control tension for a supple texture.
The fabrics are woven in a 77-year-old, family-run mill in Yame, Japan, using preserved techniques and salvaged Toyota power looms — relics of the Industrial Revolution. The looms are semi-automated and characteristically narrow, allowing the weaver to control tension and ensure that the pre-dyed yarn aligns so that the intended pattern appears. Once a nationwide-practiced craft used for kimono-making, kasuri declined after the post-war shift toward western fashion and synthetic textiles, leaving only a few remaining mills in Yame.
