Japan saw dramatic changes in textile production during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). Kyoto, the former capital and long the center of the textile industry, saw a revitalization with the introduction of new weaving and dyeing technologies. In 1872 a group of Japanese textile producers traveled to Lyon, France and soon thereafter returned to Japan to make the first Japanese Jacquard loom, and in the decade to follow brought back other advanced technologies from Europe, which revolutionized production methods. (See "Japanese Modern Textiles", Kyoto Shoin, #17). A few small stains (visible in photo), one 1/2" tear on surface of fabrics. 15 feet 5", 12.5" wide, 469 cm x 31.75 cm.
