FOOTNOTES:
[ [264] Yofuku means foreign clothes.
[ [265] In 1920 there were 8,219 sheep in Japan, including 945 in Hokkaido.
[ [266] A sheep produces about 7 lbs. of wool in the year. But this is the unscoured weight. In Japan, an expert assured me, it would not reach more than 56 to 60 per cent. when scoured.
[ [267] "To-day sheep cannot, be kept on arable to leave any reward to the farmer."—Country Life, August 20, 1921.

[ [270] An immense amount of silk is used in Japanese men's clothing. The kimono, except the cheaper summer kind and the bath kimono (yukata), which are cotton, is silk. So are the hakama (divided skirt) and the haori (overcoat). Japanese women's clothes are largely silk. The dress of working people is cotton, but even they have some silk clothing.

[ [272] The industry has already made on the London market an impression of competence in some directions. For production and exports, see [Appendix LXX].
