Yanai Jima (traditional stripe textile)
Plain cotton textile produced in this area for centuries. This style became well known during the Edo period, when Yanai prospered as a merchants’ city. As industrialization began in the Meiji period (19th century), production of this folk textile declined and almost disappeared in the early 20th century.
