 note = {Continuous research, preservation and documentation for intangible cultural properties of  historic textiles are necessary to succeed them to the next generation. This paper discusses the  transformations of manufacturing techniques for kudzu cloth, known as ‘grass cloth,’ and its use  in costumes and interior design. The paper also reexamines methods of documentation and  preservation of intangible cultural properties, especially of manufacturing techniques for historic  textiles. First, the historical background and the use of kudzu cloth are researched, and  manufacturing techniques by current manufacturers are documented. The results of research are  collated with documentation regarding kudzu cloth from the nineteenth century and the 1960s in  order to show the transformations of manufacturing techniques and the uses of kudzu cloth. As a  result, it may be said that prototypes of textile manufacturing techniques in Japan are found in  the technique of manufacturing kudzu cloth. At the same time, it is pointed out that kudzu cloths  have survived in the Japanese textile culture until today, transforming in their uses, such as for  costumes of aristocrats in the Nara and Heian periods, warriors’ costumes in the Edo period, and  exported wall cloth in the Meiji period. Also it has become clear that the use of fibers such as  kudzu, “a type of weeds,” for manufacturing textiles is not only rooted in ancient technology but  also closely related to global environmental issues and preventive conservation. In that sense,  kudzu cloth could be an ecological textile in the 21st century.},
