[Kakegawa handwoven kudzufu]
A fabric woven with time and care using natural fibers
Kakegawa handwoven kudzufu is an entirely handmade fabric woven from wild kudzu, a pea family plant which inhabits fields and mountains. It is durable and has the distinctive texture of natural fibers, a chic luster and an austerely elegant color. A hundred kilos of wild, hand-picked kudzu are needed for every kilo of finished kudzu thread, the production of which requires many steps. The fabric that results from all this time and care is put to use in all sorts of products such as bags, coin purses, scrolls, wall paper and curtain cloth.
