The kimono has been associated with the
image of Japan for centuries. Within Japan
itself, Kyoto has been the main centre for
kimono and textile production for more
than 1000 years. Although demand for
kimono decreased dramatically once Western
clothes were introduced to Japan during
the Meiji period (1868-1912), Kyoto still
remains famous for kimonos and textiles.
The Nishijin Textile Center, situated in
the centre of Kyoto in the Nishijin
weaving area, is an alliance consisting of
more than 700 small companies that
continue to foster and nurture the ancient
textile tradition.
The seven-storey “Nishijin” Union
building is located on Horikawa Street,
just south of Imadegawa. It is a museum, a
factory, a shop and a gallery all in one.
The most attractive thing is Kimono
Fashion Show. It’s held six to seven
times daily at the Nishijin Textile
Center. The showcases kimono changes with
the season.
