Hemp Explanation: According to this fashion website, "紗繊糸" means "麻" ("hemp"). A lot of clothes are made out of hemp these days, and it does look like hemp to me. Reference: http://theredroof.jp/?pid=13299639 |

peper-ply thread Explanation: As Cinefil's reference, 「抄」seems to be the correct letter, which means "making paper". If that's the case "paper-ply thread" would be closer in meaning. |

hempen thread - the same that's used to make Japanese paper Explanation: As cinefil and Ms. Regan note, the original term is likely the result of a mis-type. 抄織糸 is a sturdy fiber, often constructed from hemp, used both in modern knitting/crochet work and Japanese paper construction. It can also be woven into a fabric. Using this special term as opposed to referring to the fiber directly highlights both the durability and distinct "Japanese" feel of the material. Below is a simple Google images search, used to reference some of the products made from this material. As far as I know, however, there is no particular English gloss for 抄織糸.

| Reference: FYR Reference information: ■抄繊織物（しょうせんおりもの） 基本的には、紙を抄(す)いたものを、細く裁断して撚(よ)りをかけ、紙糸とした抄繊糸を使って織った織物をいうのであるが、しだいにその意味内容を異にすることになる。原料としては、楮(こうぞ)、三椏(みつまた)、木材パルプ、屑(くず)繊維など、繊維として利用できるあらゆるものが使われることになる。 大正の初めごろ、セル引きの紙糸の製造が行われ、これをパナマ帽の代用材料として用いることから、工業化が開始されたのであるが、物資の不足の時代には、織物の代用糸として盛んに利用された。抄繊糸は繊維がなるべく縦方向を向くように、裁断してテープ状にして撚りをかけ、これを樹脂加工したものであるが、織物にするときに、強度を増加することと外観に変化を与えるため、経(たて)糸に綿糸・絹糸・合繊糸などと交織することがあるが、その方法は普通の織物と変わりはない。夏帯地、芯地(しんじ)、着尺地、シャツ、帽子帽体、ふとん袋、基布、袋物、椅子(いす)張りの布などに用いられてきた。 〈角山幸洋〉 スーパーニッポニカ百科事典(C)小学館 http://www.kanagawa-iri.go.jp/kitri/kouhou/program/H17/pdf17... |
