This practice started to grow with the new capitalist economic policies of Japan in 1890.

In these times, textiles developed in Africa in an interesting way. A type of cloth was used as currency. The width of the fabric strip is standardized in every region of Africa. This cloth was distributed equally by the tribal chiefs for use by all for medicinal purposes. The natives had a limited number of standard-length strips of fabric to make bandages. This fabric, which is found in the same amount for everyone, later started to be used as a currency. Cloth emerged as a convenient form of money because it was used by everyone, highly durable and easily divisible. African weavers, dyers and other textile artists have worked together to create an elegant and surprising range of textiles. They played an active role in the development of textile. Textiles belonging to African culture embody various styles. Adinkara, kente, and bogolan are some of the increasingly popular African textiles. African textiles also feature styles that are known by terms such as yoruba, ase-oke and adire and are not much known globally.
