Bisai Textiles - Bisai Textiles

Japanese: 尾西織物 - びさいおりもの

The textile industry has been developed in the western Owari region, centered on Bisai, Ichinomiya, and Tsushima in Aichi Prefecture, since ancient times, and this refers to textiles produced in this region. In 1764 (Meiwa 1), the technique for weaving Santomejima (Santome stripes) was introduced to Okoshi village, Nakajima county (Okoshi town, Bisai city) from Nishijin, Kyoto, and 20 years later, the technique for Sugadaijin stripes was introduced from Kyoto. In 1829 (Bunsei 12), a merchant from Kanazawa, Kaga, commented that "Oshu Santomejima is a fashionable item in many countries," and it became a local specialty. Furthermore, at the end of the Bunsei era, Yuki stripes, a silk-cotton woven fabric, were produced, and it was a central product from 1830 (Tenpo 1) until the beginning of the Meiji era.

愛知県の尾西市，一宮市，津島市を中心とする尾張西部地方は古くから織物業が発達したが，この地域で生産される織物をいう。1764年(明和1)京都西陣から桟留縞（さんとめじま）製織技術が，中島郡起（おこし）村(尾西市起町)に伝えられ，20年余りのち，京都から菅大臣縞の技法が伝えられた。1829年(文政12)に加賀金沢の商人が，〈尾州桟留縞は諸国流行の品〉と述べるほどに好評を得て特産物化した。さらに文政の末年には絹綿交織（けんめんこうしよく）の結城縞が生産され，30年(天保1)以降から明治初年まで中心的な産物であった。
