The Kimono Fabric Succession Ledger

Field notes

The homepage organizes 52 nationally designated kimono fabrics by brand and prefecture, then adds a succession lens based on traditional craftsperson counts and certification dates. Its rows distinguish woven materials from dyed products and expose gaps with dashes where figures are unavailable. The regional table shows Okinawa with 13 brands, while Kyoto has five brands but 409 traditional craftspersons, making the database useful for comparing geographic concentration with the continuity of individual textile traditions.
