  • Mrs. Shibagaki Kimie , (49 years old) working at Tsuzure weaving (fingernail weaving.  Called fingernail weaving because the weaver's index fingernails are filed like saws, in order to pull the weft through the weaving.  This is highly precise weaving often weaving only one centimeter in length per day.  She translates the design withthe bare eye and follows it through a mirror, which is placed under the warp. She was working at the Nishijin Textile Center.  While I photographed her she was weaving the covering of Kuronushiyama one of the Yama in the Gion  Festival.  It is a  reproduction of a five-hundred-year-old Chinese tapestry that is hung each year on one of the traditional floats in the parade of the Gion Festival in Kyoto. Most of the provenence is from my first hand work with Mrs. Shibagaki. Some details from the book The Silk Weaver of Kyoto: Family and Work in a Changing Traditional Industry, by Tamara K. Hareven p. 121 pub. University of California Press.
