About this place
Iyo kasuri is indigo cotton kasuri made in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture. It is also called Matsuyama kasuri. Together with Kurume kasuri and Bingo kasuri, it is also regarded as one of Japan's Three Great Kasuri. In the late Edo period, Kana Kagiya of Imazu (now around Nishihabu-cho, Matsuyama) wove it single-handedly. At that time, farm women spun it between farm work as extra income. After the Meiji era, improvements to looms advanced, production increased, and it grew in popularity across the country.
