I have a semester long research project about textile trends in the Meiji period (1868-1912.) This will be useful because it contains chapters about sashiko. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed more books/articles don't focus or even discuss Meiji folkloric ways of crafting. There's a ton about tea ceremony and ceramics, of course, but not that much about textiles. This book was a good find (even if it's not exclusively Meiji period.)
