Traditional flat gold thread can be made by attaching gold leaf to paper and cutting it into narrow strips. Imported kinran became part of the treasured textile fragments known as meibutsugire, preserved by military elites, temples and shrines. These fabrics were used for tea-utensil bags and mountings for paintings and calligraphy.\n\nChinese weaving techniques helped establish substantial kinran production in Kyoto’s Nishijin district during the late 16th century. Nishijin weaving later modernized through Jacquard technology during the Meiji period (1868–1912). In 1976, Nishijin-ori received national designation as a Traditional Craft. Kinran is included among its principal products; the designation covers Nishijin weaving as a broader tradition rather than kinran alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese coasters use kinran brocade woven with colored threads, gold threads and foil. Their ornate floral designs reflect the obi-like richness described in the product details.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📦 Shipping Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips safely from Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast \u0026amp; reliable international shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImport duties, taxes, and customs fees are not included in the product price or shipping cost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny applicable duties, taxes, or customs fees are the responsibility of the buyer and may be charged upon delivery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustoms regulations and applicable rates vary by country or region.
