This is a study of Japanese country textiles, covering design, techniques and the social context, taking examples from the V&A Museums varied collection. The book examines the way in which country textiles have been categorized in the 20th century. Woven from cotton and linenlike fabrics and patterned by resistdyeing techniques, these textiles range from indigoblue futon covers to the coloured robes of Okinawa. The book examines their complex and timeconsuming manufacture and the varied repertoire of effects employed by the weavers and dyers of 18th and 19thcentury Japan. It places the textiles within their historical context in order to gain a greater understanding of the social, religious, political and economic significance, and concludes with a brief exploration of the survival of traditional textiles within the highly mechanized and urbanized society of modern Japan.
