Cotton threads are woven into the starched silk threads covering the spots that should be resisted according to the graph of the kasuri pattern. This makes what is called a “splash pattern mat” mushiro-gasuri. The portions of the silk thread covered with the cotton woven over them in will be blocked from the dye during the next process.
