'''Bingo Kasuri''' (備後絣) is a traditional '''kasuri''' (ikat) textile produced in the '''Bingo region''' of present-day [[Hiroshima Prefecture]]. It is recognized as one of the '''three major kasuri traditions''' of Japan, alongside [[Kurume Kasuri]] and [[Iyo Kasuri]]. Bingo Kasuri is known for its strong cotton construction, finely controlled resist-dyed patterns, and its historical role in large-scale textile production and distribution during the late Edo and Meiji periods.

== History ==
The production of kasuri in the Bingo region developed during the early 19th century. The area around '''Fukuyama''' and its neighboring weaving villages became an important textile center due to:
* Access to cotton-growing regions around the Seto Inland Sea
* Well-developed transportation networks, including river and coastal trade routes
* Skilled local weaving guilds and dye workshops

By the late [[Edo period]], Bingo Kasuri was shipped widely throughout western and central Japan. In the Meiji period, the region was among the first to adopt '''mechanized spinning and dyeing''', allowing Bingo Kasuri to become a major mass-produced cloth for everyday kimono and work garments.

== Materials ==
Bingo Kasuri is traditionally woven from:
* '''Cotton''' yarns

Dye sources historically used:
* '''Natural indigo''' (藍染)
* Later, synthetic indigo and chemical dyes for broader color range

Thread preparation, resist-tying, and dyeing could be carried out separately by different specialized workshops.

== Technique ==
Key features include:
* '''Pre-dyed warp and/or weft threads''' (kasuri method)
* '''Repeating geometric patterns''' — often small-scale and rhythmically arranged
* '''Strong, durable cotton weave''' suitable for daily wear

Patterns commonly include:
* Grids and checks
* Small diamonds
* Stepped or staggered motifs
* Combinations of stripes and blurred forms

Compared to Kurume Kasuri, Bingo Kasuri typically shows:
* '''Finer''' and more '''precise''' pattern edges
* Slightly '''tighter and firmer''' weave structure

These traits reflect Bingo’s orientation toward '''production efficiency and technical regularity'''.

== Cultural Significance ==
Bingo Kasuri reflects:
* The transition from home-based weaving to '''regional-scale textile industry'''
* Material culture of '''townspeople and agricultural workers'''
* Aesthetic values of '''practicality, modesty, and rhythm'''

It is an important example of how a folk textile tradition adapted to '''early industrialization'''.

== Modern Status ==
Today, Bingo Kasuri is preserved through:
* Artisan weaving studios in the Fukuyama region
* Regional cultural heritage organizations
* Museums and textile researchers

Modern applications include:
* Kimono and haori fabric
* Shirts, jackets, and casual wear
* Interior textiles and art-based fabric design
