This article explores a key theme in recent scholarship: the impact of the circulation movement of ideas and information by examining, in this case focusing on the spread of weaving techniques across Japanese markets during the Tokugawa (1603–1868) reign. The dissemination of useful knowledge in this period relied on practitioners like artisans and merchants, on wealthy farmers, and family networks in regional communities also influenced this process, as did the conditions inhibiting or encouraging the development, adoption, adaptation, and elaboration of new technologies. Mobility, public culture, and networks played a significant role in the diffusion of knowledge in eighteenth-century Europe, and Japan's weaving in the Tokugawa period provides a non-Western parallel. Thus Japan's case suggests the necessity of further discussion about the "creation" of technological knowledge beyond the "introduction and diffusion" of ideas and information in the context of the Great Divergence debate.

摘要：

本文探讨了近期学术界的一个关键主题：思想和信息流通运动的影响，在这种情况下，重点是德川（1603-1868）统治时期日本市场上编织技术的传播。这一时期有用知识的传播依赖于像工匠和商人这样的从业者、富裕的农民以及区域社区的家庭网络也影响了这一过程，抑制或鼓励新技术的开发、采用、适应和阐述的条件也影响了这一过程。 . 流动性、公共文化和网络在 18 世纪欧洲的知识传播中发挥了重要作用，而日本在德川时代的编织提供了非西方的平行线。因此日本'
