Thats some great footage. Such a shame that a trade like that has been more or less wiped out by technology. I remember seeing a similiar film at the Guiness factory in Dublin.
I think with the popularity of craft beer etc around the world, surely there would be some succsessful breweries willing to give the old fashion ways a crack. I know I'd support them if they did.

Kurume Kasuri
200 years ago during the Edo period a 12 year old girl named Den Inoue noticed a white dot on her kimono fabric. Unravelling the threads to get a better look she realized that two of the crossing threads were not dyed, creating a white spot. After much experimenting she discovered that wrapping threads before dying them was a new way of making patterned fabric. This traditional Japanese technique, which spread all over the continent, all began with her small observation. Today there are still a number of fabric weavers continuing the traditional handmade process of Kurume Kasuri.…

Might have to forgive some of the cheesy music but a lot of the clips are pretty incredible.
