Connecting Through Hometown Tax (Furusato Nozei), KURUME KASURI × JAPAN BLUE
For over 220 years, Kurume Kasuri has been woven in Fukuoka, carrying with it the wisdom of generations.
When paired with the profound hues of natural indigo, the fabric transforms into a garment that colors your journey.
As autumn arrives and the desire for new journeys (and futures) stirs within us, there is a master piece we hope you will encounter—our “TABIGOROMO,” a garment born to journey with you.

IKI LUCA delivers “TABIGOROMO,” travel-ready garments crafted from Kurume Kasuri, a cotton textile woven in Kurume for over 220 years.
Every piece of fabric requires more than 30 meticulous steps, taking about three months to complete in the hands of skilled artisans.
The result is a 100% cotton textile—durable, soft, and made to be cherished for years.

The Power and Function of Indigo, JAPAN BLUE
Kurume Kasuri is traditionally an indigo-dyed cotton weave. The blue created by indigo dyeing in JAPAN is called “JAPAN BLUE.” Indigo is said to carry natural benefits such as:
- Antibacterial, deodorizing, and insect-repellent properties
- UV protection
- Far-infrared warmth (a gentle warm when worn)
Lightweight and easy to carry, our garment is also machine-washable and wrinkle-resistant. The HAORI is especially perfect for seasonal transitions or as a versatile travel companion.
A Future Connected Through Hometown Tax, Furusato Nozei
Our beloved JAPAN BLUE HAORI is also available as a return gift through Japan’s Furusato Nozei (Hometown Tax) system.
By supporting Kurume, you can welcome a piece of Japanese tradition into your everyday life.
