Inouye is a Japanese name written with two characters. Japanese is written in vertical bands. The bamboo motifs come from our Japanese crest.  Both Fox and McLean are family names in the twins' mother's family. Gregory is my maiden name. My younger son, Kevin, and his wife, Chandra, studied Japanese in college and spent some time in Japan. The boys are fraternal twins, the first in my family as far as I know, but Chandra's mother's family includes twins. The weave structure is turned summer and winter. The fox and Inouye blankets were woven on the same warp, roughly 48" wide on a 60" loom with a flyshuttle.
