A contribution to the study of Japanese textiles and to the cultural history of the Inland Sea region, this volume presents a historical ethnography of the fishing villages that produced the fisherman's coat. It provides an analysis of regional textile production, the sashiko tradition in the village of Hokudan, and the iconography of the designs.
