Legend tells that the cherry blossoms hanging from the treetops are the dwelling places of the gods. Initially, I didn't believe such innocent fairy tales, Until I met you beneath the cherry blossom trees in spring. Years later, whenever I see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, I can still clearly remember the cherry blossoms of that year, and you. An Introduction to Jinyi Brocade Jinyi is a general term for fabrics woven with gold thread. Fabrics woven with gold thread are called "kinji kinran," and in China, they are known as "zhijin." Fabrics that use silver thread instead of gold thread are called "ginran." The production of Jinyi can be traced back to the Song Dynasty in China. In Japan, it was officially adopted as a domestic weaving technique after being introduced from the Ming Dynasty during the Tensho era (1573-1592), with Kyoto's Nishijin-ori being its most representative form. Jinyi is a luxurious and ornate type of fabric, holding a most esteemed position among "meibutsu-gire" (famous antique textile fragments). It was favored by tea masters, samurai, and the aristocracy.
