Dyeing and Weaving Industry (Habutae Silk)
A display of habutae and other silks from Fukushima Prefecture. White packages line the whole wall.
About this photo
Covering the wall are white packages tied with bows. Each one has a square label stuck on it, and they are stacked in tier after tier from top to bottom. In the middle foreground, dark goods with small white tags are piled on a stand, and a single tall, narrow sign with writing on it stands upright.
The description covers export habutae, slub silk (fushiginu) and other silk fabrics. It praises export habutae for being light yet closely woven, and slub silk for its fine color and sheen, its durability and its low price. Among the other silks, it says nanako basket weave, ro gauze, Yatsuhashi weave and more were shown, all of excellent quality.
