Examples of indigo-dyed cotton ikat futon covers from Kanatsu area, San'in region

All of the images are related to Stinchecum's field research into traditional practices of fiber production and ikat weaving in Japan.

There appear to be two sets of images: 35mm color slides (575) and black and white negatives (1316). The negatives are accompanied with contact sheets and some of the negatives were also developed and printed on 5x7 paper. The 5x7 prints were grouped, presumably by Stinchecum, to illustrate various workshop practices.

Some of the negatives and slides depict the same event, such as a visit to a weaving workshop. However, there is no duplication between the negatives and the slides.

Included with the materials are printouts of a database documenting the images. The printouts include notes presumably from Stinchecum.

35mm slides are described on a 'sheet/sleeve' level. The notebooks described in Research Materials contain technical information relating to the slides. The negatives are described per film roll.
