The developments of the Taiko loom from the Battant loom in the Sennan region due to a transplant technique

Abstract

In 1873, an engineer of Nishijin carried back the Battant loom to Japan, buying it from Jacquard in Lyon. In 1874 April, the Battant loom was displayed in the Second Kyoto exhibition. In 1875, the Battant loom was produced in the Sennan region. The Battant loom was further developed in the Sennan region, and gave rise to the Taiko loom.
