More than fifty rare and precious kakahu are featured within this book, with glossy color detail illustrations, historical and contextual images, and graphic diagrams of weaving techniques. These are accompanied by engaging descriptions that bring together information on every cloakātheir age, materials, and weaving technique, with quotes from master weavers and other experts, stories of the cloaks, details of their often remarkable provenance, discussion of how the craft is being revived, and issues to do with cloaks held in international museums. A full glossary, an illustrated guide to cloak types, and an index are included. Contemporary cloaks made with novel materials are also featured.
