Thanks to a reply sent only to me, I have had my attention drawn to the quote in the Dover edition of Palliser (1914) on p. 417 âThe versatile Japanese have copied the Honiton method of makin gbobbin lace. The Government have encouraged a school at Yokohama for pillow lace making, under the supervision of an English lady where they turn out lace of a distinctive Japanese characterâ.
Also provided was this link: See also americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_633966 It is a photo of a piece of Honiton lace that has a look reminiscent of Origami. I did a bit of a search on Honiton and Japan, and found a reference to a catalog from an exhibition in which there were pieces identified as Japanese Honiton submitted in 1885, although sadly, no photos. Doe anyone have any information on this? Devon Sent from Mail for Windows 10 - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
