The narrative to this project is in "the process of silk making in Manchu, china." This book discusses the process of silk making in the context to old Chinese silk paintings. These paintings were done on silk using natural pigments and using a style similar in concept to miniature paintings in the Indo- Pak region. These paintings tell stories of how making silk was an activity of the community and how everyone from children to old members of the village worked together to produce silk. People had their own personal silk units in their homes and the family members worked on making the cloth together.
