Simulating kimono fabrication based on the production process of Yuki-tsumugi

Yuki-tsumugi is a traditional Japanese silk fabric. In the production of this silk fabric, a splashed pattern based on a picture is first created on a sheet of exclusive grid paper. Second, piece goods is woven based on the pattern plan. Finally, a kimono is produced from the piece goods. However, estimating the appearance of changes to a kimono during each step of the production is difficult. This is due to the fact that a pattern plan is fabricated by combining basic Kasuri patterns. In addition, yarn weaving rules must be considered and the cutting of a piece goods pattern can be done in an infinite number of ways.
