Abstract
Starting from close analysis of a late seventeenth-century cotton nightgown made in India that borrows its pattern from a traditional Japanese motif, this article contextualises the garment within a group of three other similar gowns to understand the complex cultural geographies they wove together. From the small material details of the making and design of these textile hybrids, the article retraces a larger story of global trade and exchange: a story that takes us from Europe to Japan, India and beyond. It shows how even within what may seem like a neat pattern of circulation between three geographical areas, linked together by the arrival in Asia of European trading companies such as the Dutch East India Company or VOC, various multi-layered patterns of hybridisation coexisted and sometimes pre-existed the arrival of European traders.
期刊介绍：
Textile History is an internationally recognised, peer reviewed journal and one of the leading publications in its field. It is viewed as an important outlet for current research. Published in the spring and autumn of each year, its remit has always been to facilitate the publication of high-quality research and discussion in all aspects of scholarship arising from the history of textiles and dress. Since its foundation the scope of the journal has been substantially expanded to include articles dealing with aspects of the cultural and social history of apparel and textiles, as well as issues arising from the exhibition, preservation and interpretation of historic textiles or clothing.
