備後絣 Bingo traditional resist-dyed textiles

Bingo gasuri is a Kasuri fabric manufactured in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It is one of the three major Kasuri in Japan along with Iyo gasuri and Kurume gasuri. It is said that Bingo gasuri developed from kasuri, which was made by Kyusaburo Tomita, who lived in Ashida-cho, Fukuyama City at the end of the Edo period. Bingo gasuri was mainly woven with cotton, but it was also produced at times by adding silk and wool.

備後絣(びんごがすり)は、広島県福山市で製造されている織物です。伊予絣、久留米絣とともに日本三大絣の一つです。江戸時代末期,現在の福山市芦田町に住んでいた富田久三郎が織物の研究を重ね、製作技法を考案して作った絣織物が発祥と言われています。主に綿で織られていましたが、絹やウールを加え生産されていたこともあリます。
