"This book addresses key issues that have preoccupied historians, anthropologists, and sociologists over several decades concerning the interrelationships between family and work. As a case study, it examines the lives of the craftspeople and manufactureres who produce a luxury silk textile--the OBI (sash) worn over the KIMONO--in Kyoto's traditional weaving district....I have pursued questions relating to this topic since the late 1960s...This book examines patterns of family and work in Nishijin as they have changed over this past century". Sections are: Family, Work and the Division of Labor in Nishijin: A Historical Analysis; The Nishijin People's Own Stories; Conclusion; Appendix; Glossary; bibliography, index. Fascinating look at a more and more esoteric craft and the way of life that accompanies it. Silk, you can never have enough of it in your life, and these artisans make it even more clear as to how and why that is. ; B&W Photographs & Maps; 6 x 9 1/4; xxv, 346 pages; Cover has very minor rubbing; no DJ as issued. .
