History
Cotton cultivation expanded in Owari during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. As the castle town of Nagoya grew under the Tokugawa clan, merchant guilds and organized craft communities emerged. Weaving districts developed systems for:
- Fiber supply
- Thread preparation
- Dyeing
- Weaving and finishing
- Domestic and regional distribution
