Research notes
『第10回欧米カーペット業界研修調査団報告書』 (1981) proves at least ten missions, 1971–1981 (the association's own chronology dates the first mission to 1971). An entirely untapped seam. Citation check (Oct 2026, from search results; pages not opened): partly confirmed. The association's chronology says 欧米カーペット業界研修調査団 dispatches BEGAN IN 1971 (昭和46年). So '1971–1981 (the association's own chronology dates the first mission to 1971)' is wrong; it should be 1971–1981 (ten missions in about ten years fits roughly annual trips). In 1981 the sponsoring 日本カーペット協会 was the renamed 日本タフテッドカーペット協会 (founded 1968, renamed 1973). The exact report title 『第10回欧米カーペット業界研修調査団報告書』 was not found in any catalogue (CiNii/NDL not reachable).
