Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Occupation that manufactures thick and durable fabrics such as canvas using looms.
Description
Canvas weavers are specialists who use raw materials such as cotton yarn, perform warping (warp thread preparation), and then operate looms using techniques like plain weave to manufacture canvas. Tasks include loom adjustments, weft yarn replenishment, fabric inspection and checking after weaving, and finishing processes. Since canvas requires durability, handling thick fabrics involves heavy machinery and fabric weights, requiring workers to possess a certain level of physical strength and attention. Manufactured canvas is used in a wide range of applications, including tents, sailing ships, bags, and curtains. Production lines typically involve division of labor among multiple workers, and maintenance/inspection of automated equipment and defect countermeasures are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
While the domestic textile manufacturing industry is in a shrinking trend, high-quality, high-durability materials like canvas maintain demand in niche markets, and balancing skill inheritance with automation is a future challenge.
