『Amimono Shinan』 (Knitting Tutorial) was published by Hakubunkan in 1907 and reprinted 30 times. In it, there was information about yarn and tools, ways of knitting, miscellaneous notes about knitting, as well as 35 knitted works, 28 crocheted works, 5 laceworks and a number of knitted flowers. A sequel was published in 1909, and it was very popular.
The author of these books, Tomiko Ishii, had one of her new works published in a girls' magazine for the first time in 1906. A lot of her works were subsequently published in magazines such as 『Shōjo Sekai』 (Girl World), 『Fujin Sekai』 (Women's World), 『Fujin Club』 (Women's Club) and 『Shōjo Gahou』 (Girls' Pictorial) from 1906 to 1915.
In this paper I attempted to clarify her popularity and document her works.
