Techniques for Cultivation and Extracting Fiber of Karamushi
Karamushi, or a Ramie, which has strong and shiny characteristic fiber, had been cultivated in various parts of the country as to use as the materials for high-grade Karamushi weave. The main producing center has now narrowed down to Fukushima and Okinawa prefecture. In the Showa village, Fukushima prefecture, Karamushi thread has been produced and supplied as the material for Ojiya-chijimi and Echigo-jyofu, important intangible cultural properties in Niigata prefecture, by cultivating and extracting fiber of Karamushi. 01: Burning fields to cultivate Karamushi
