I so look forward to continuing to work on this elegantly simple loom. I'm a novice weaver and know I'll get many, many hours of productive enjoyment and experience once I get going. Perhaps we'll create plans from what we build so others can more easily build looms for themselves. I know they are still produced as there are several in the studio where I weave that appear quite new. Then there are others that are ancient. I wish they could tell their stories. Wish me luck!

I went to a loom museum and took hundreds of pictures of back strap looms and one day will get back to making better ones. Your husband won't have any problem making one. Could you take one apart and send it back home?<br />BryanBryan's Japanese Textileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047099866454091251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709628913790065104.post-72637651871369004962012-05-11T07:26:50.196+09:002012-05-11T07:26:50.196+09:00Recently I had my first lesson on a Japanese backs...Recently I had my first lesson on a Japanese backstrap loom, and now I'm at the studio at least 18 hours a week. I love the work and want to learn as much as i can. I live in northern Japan near Misawa, but will be sadly leaving Japan in about a month. I have photographed and made some measurements of the loom I've been usin, so my talented husband can build me one. Do you know if ther are building plans available for this elegantly simple traditional loom? Your home and your life sound wonderfully serene. I will so miss Japan, the country and the people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709628913790065104.post-85193852395008390212010-08-12T09:38:08.278+09:002010-08-12T09:38:08.278+09:00i find i am more and more drawn to simple looms an...i find i am more and more drawn to simple looms and simple weaves. being strapped in means you dedicate yourself to a chunk of weaving time.Velma Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446502295849533888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709628913790065104.post-25877047965243886802010-08-09T03:11:36.278+09:002010-08-09T03:11:36.278+09:00I would love to use one!
