Mii

Mii lies in the cultivated plain of Chikugo around Kurume, where cotton weaving became a livelihood for rural households. Kurume kasuri, patterned cloth made from threads dyed before weaving, is traditionally credited to Inoue Den at the end of the eighteenth century. Its production spread through villages in Mii and neighbouring districts. Indigo and careful preparation of the threads gave the cloth its distinctive designs, making it a celebrated product of the region.
