Fundamental Study on the Development of Distribution of Labor in Textile Technology: Through an Analysis of Texts on Techniques, Paintings and Actual Works

在本研究中，为了阐明纺织品生产中使用了哪些技术以及与这些技术相关的劳动力是如何分配和传递的问题，我们从根本上研究了以往研究中获得的信息。虽然特别试图全面涵盖与纺织品有关的文件，但显然需要继续进行调查，以仔细审查其内容并参考其他材料。这是因为在审查这些文件中的账目时，需要考虑到负责技能和成品的人员的差异等因素。换句话说，要理解纺织技术的本质，必须阐明一种被称为“劳动分工”的生产系统。作者将利用本研究积累的数据，继续研究尚未涉及的主题。

In this research, information obtained in previous researches was studied fundamentally in order to elucidate such questions as what techniques are employed in manufacturing textiles and how labor related with such techniques is distributed and transmitted. Although attempt was made, particularly, to comprehensively cover documents related with textiles, it has become clear that continuous investigation is necessary to examine their contents closely and to make reference to other materials. This is because accounts in these documents need to be examined while taking into consideration such factors as the differences in the persons responsible for the skills and the finished products.In other words, elucidation of a system of production known as "division of labor" is indispensable in understanding the nature of textile techniques. The author will utilize data accumulated in this research to continue study of topics that have not yet been covered.
