The volume foregrounds the textile traditions of the Miyako and Yaeyama islands of Okinawa, as well as those of southern Kyushu and Kurume, emphasizing their distinctive weaving methodologies and profound cultural significance. The evolution of weaving in Okinawa was largely conditioned by political forces, whereas the development of mainland Japanese weaving practices was predominantly driven by economic imperatives. Ikat weaving, originating on Okinawa Island, subsequently disseminated across the archipelago. In contemporary times, however, the textile industries of Miyako and Yaeyama face marked decline. This work thus seeks to safeguard and perpetuate the heritage of Okinawan weaving, ensuring its transmission to future generations.
