| Research Abstract |
We researched characteristics of silk threads taken from cocoons of silkworms preserved in Japan today in order to select suitable threads for reproduction of silk fabrics as cultural properties which were made before the Meiji period. It is said that the texture of ancient silk fabrics is difficult to represent using silk threads which are made nowadays under mass production because reeling techniques from cocoons and manufacturing techniques of silk fabrics in Japan were totally changed during the Meiji period.
So we tried to understand which kinds of law material and techniques are more useful to reproduce ancient silk fabrics such as braids using loop-manipulation technique or other silk fabrics because some of them are seriously damaged and difficult to use for exhibitions. Denier, quantity and quality of sericin, degumming resistance of threads and components of solutions of lye from straw were examined.
As samples we made threads from cocoons of 10 races of silkworm using hand-operated silk reeling instrument ; 6 of them are classified as Chinese origin ; Shokou, Hikou, Kankou-shaken, Shokei, Santou-sanmin, Chouyou, and 4 of them are classified as Japanese origin ; Sakurahime, Matamukashi, Aojuku, Onishijira. The number of race preserved in Japan is about 470 in all.
Under the same condition of degumming using lye from straw and dyeing using Japanese madder, they especially showed difference in texture and the gloss of threads. It is concerned very much with degree of degumming and also the quality and quantity of sericin which is differ from each thread. It depends also on the food (quality of mulberry leaves), circumstances throughout feeding period and preserve techniques of cocoons.
Beside these we observed some Chinese archaic braids with Plain Oblique Twining and Two-layered Oblique Interlacing in Hubei province, China. It seems that they were also made by loop-manipulation technique using very fine silk threads which are required farther research.
