Honeycomb weaving

Japanese: 蜂巣織 - はちすおり
Honeycomb weaving

Also called "Masu-ori" (square weave), this is a type of fabric made by stretching the warp and weft threads long to create a square pattern, and the rising and falling of these threads creates an uneven surface that resembles a honeycomb. It is generally made of cotton, but because it is flexible and highly absorbent, it is used for bedsheets, bedding, table coverings, etc. In rare cases, wool or silk is used for women's and children's clothing.

Japanese:

枡(ます)織ともいい、経緯(たてよこ)糸の浮きを長く伸ばして枡目のようにつくり、その浮沈によって織面を凹凸にし、蜂の巣のような外観に組織した織物。一般に綿織物としてつくられるが、柔軟性と吸水性に富むため、敷布、寝具、テーブル掛けなどに使われる。まれには毛または絹を使って婦人・子供服などに用いられる。
