✨ Fabric Characteristics

Because this tie is woven, not printed, the fabric has a slightly thicker feel and a luxurious texture.

The colors and patterns subtly change depending on the angle of light, a unique charm of traditional brocade weaving.

Please note: due to its thickness, this tie is not designed for those who prefer very smooth or lightweight neckties, but is ideal for those who appreciate craftsmanship and presence.

🌸What is Nishijin-ori?

Nishijin-ori is a traditional figured textile produced in the Nishijin district, located in the northwestern area of Kyoto, Japan. It is characterized by yarn-dyed threads and intricate weaving techniques, and is known for its small-batch, highly diverse production.

On February 26, 1977, Nishijin-ori was officially designated as a Traditional Craft of Japan.

With over 1,200 years of accumulated craftsmanship, Nishijin weaving represents not only exceptional technical mastery but also a continuous pursuit of creative design and artistic expression.

Today, Nishijin textiles have attracted global attention and are incorporated into products and interior designs by world-renowned luxury brands such as Dior, Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Cartier.

🌸 History of Nishijin-ori

During the mid-Muromachi period (15th century), the Ōnin War broke out in Kyoto, dividing the city between the Eastern and Western armies. The conflict lasted for 11 years, forcing many skilled textile artisans to flee the war-torn capital, leaving Kyoto’s weaving industry in ruins.

After peace was restored, the artisans returned to Kyoto and resumed textile production near Omiya-Imadegawa, the former headquarters of the Western Army.

The name “Nishijin” originates from this historical location — the site of the Western Army’s encampment — and has since become synonymous with Kyoto’s prestigious textile tradition.
