Same threads. Different local languages.

02 / 02Field notes & catalogue basis
What changes when place, local naming and loom practice change?
The final volume changes the question from “how was it made?” to “what changes with place?” Every current textile enters this regional directory without pretending that one region has one fixed style.
Regional attribution remains object-specific: direct locality, broad-region attribution and under-review origin are kept visibly different.
This v3 book is an editorial research route. Object-level technique, dating and provenance remain on each textile record; pattern-name provenance is stored separately in the Pattern Catalog.
