Translations:Tango Fujifu/3/en
From Japanese Craftpedia portal
In remote mountain regions such as Tango, wisteria textile production persisted well into the Edo period as a vital clothing source where silk and cotton were scarce. The craft declined sharply in the Meiji period due to industrialization and rural depopulation. 20th-century ethnographers and members of the Mingei (folk craft) movement documented surviving techniques and helped preserve them.
