Japanese Made Fabrics History shows that in the old days, Bingo-kasuri was a division of labor by process, with specialized companies scattered throughout the region.
Unfortunately, with decreasing demand for western-style clothing, many places specializing in a single process gradually disappeared.
Today, one factory handles the entire process, making the labor and time required for Japanese made fabrics history truly immense.
One of the most important steps is warping—preparing the warp threads—which involves several steps in the production of Japanese made fabrics.
Let’s take a step-by-step look at how warp threads are made!
First, the thread is wound around a circular machine like a wheel, called a repeater, and a bobbin is made from the thread. (The photo below shows a bobbin.)
The bobbin is then set in the warping machine as shown in the photo.
At this time, the number of threads is calculated according to the width of the fabric. This alone sounds like a lot of work...
This opportunity automatically collects the set thread in one place and shapes it.
It cannot be neglected just because it is automatic, as the bobbin must be replenished when the thread runs out.
The shaped yarn is now wound onto a large drum.
I can already imagine the finished weave...beautiful.
The warp is transferred from the drum to the loom, and we're done!
And, well, we have roughly introduced the process of warp production.
This amount of work needs to be done in just one process.
That is why it takes at least three months to complete the fabric.
It can be said that the more time it takes, the higher quality fabric is produced.
See you soon!
