A Japanese-language textbook on practical weaving and fabric design (Jitsuyo hataori-ho, first volume) by Yokoi Torao, reviewed by Kōriki Naohiro. It covers loom weaving fundamentals, the three basic weaves (plain, twill, satin), design paper and drafting, heddle threading, and fancy and mixed weaves. It also treats double and multiple-layer cloths, pile fabrics (velvet, terry loops, carpet), leno and gauze weaves, and dobby looms. Later chapters deal with warp sizing, warping, yarn counts, calculations of warp and weft quantities, raw materials (silk, cotton, wool, flax) and identification of fibres. Many pages carry drafts, drawdowns and diagrams; the text is in vertical Japanese with some English terms on the cover.
