First line
This chapter discusses my interview experiences in Nishijin as they emerged and developed in the context of my changing relationship with the Nishijin people.
From the jacket flap
"Hareven vividly and persuasively describes the family-based silk weaving industry in Kyoto, which has been in the process of change since the end of the nineteenth century. She throws light on the innermost layer of Japanese human relations and therefore the Japanese way of feeling, thinking and evaluation, to an extent that few existing Japanese studies have attained."Kiyomi Morioka, Chiba University, Japan"
