Each book takes for its title a Japanese onomatopoeic word that evokes a particular quality of textiles. A central text explains the essence of the onomatopoeia and its connection to textiles, with an accompanying essay by a specialist from outside the textile industry exploring abstract connections and broader concepts. Additionally, the book explores the inspiration, technologies and processes that contribute towards textile production.
