About Kinran Brocade Kinran is a general term for fabrics woven with gold threads. Fabrics woven with gold threads are called "Kinji Kinran," known as "Zhijin" in China. Fabrics using silver threads instead of gold threads are called "Ginran." The production of Kinran dates back to the Song Dynasty in China. In Japan, it became a domestically produced weaving technique after being introduced from the Ming Dynasty during the Tensho era (1573-1592), with Kyoto's Nishijin-ori being its representative. Kinran is a luxurious and ornate type of fabric, holding a distinguished position among "Meibutsu Gire" (famous cloth fragments), and was favored by tea masters, samurai, and the aristocracy.
