Translations:Yūki Tsumugi/3/en
From Japanese Craftpedia portal
In the Meiji period (1868–1912), industrialization threatened hand-weaving traditions, but Yūki Tsumugi survived thanks to the dedication of local weavers and the increasing recognition of its cultural value. In the 20th century, efforts were made to preserve and promote the craft as part of Japan’s national heritage.
