They make kimonos. I don't know the specific requirements for kimono fabrics, but I suspect there are. Accordingly, they use special weaving machines. These machines are clearly made to order in extremely limited quantities. Tape cassettes and punched tapes are attributes of the control subsystem of these machines. For fabric design, they use Photoshop (is it like Photoshop?) and a completely modern PC. That is, they do everything right and in the right way. There is no point in changing machines if the machines are doing their job, especially if they are doing their job according to unique requirements. Upgrading this system just for the sake of upgrading will either bankrupt the company or lead to the creation of something completely different that is clearly not wanted by consumers. But here's what's really interesting - what heads are in their tape recorders and what kind of tape do they use in cassettes, that all this can withstand the production cycle? This is really impressive.
