Morisan: Preserving Nishijin Textile 'Kinran' in Japanese Notebook
"Bringing Nishijin Brocade Closer to Everyday Life"
In Japan, if you speak of tradition and history, Kyoto often comes to mind. It is the former capital and a hub of cultural heritage. Since 1921, Morisan has been a steadfast purveyor of Kyoto’s traditional craft, Nishijin textile. Among their offerings, Morisan specializes in an exquisite form of Nishijin brocade known as 'kinran.' This luxurious fabric incorporates gold threads. They are made by applying gold leaf to washi paper, slicing it into hair-thin strips, and wrapping these around threads. These are then intricately woven to create stunning patterns.
Traditionally, kinran was used in garments such as Buddhist monks' robes and costumes for Japanese dolls, but the demand for such items has diminished over time. However, Morisan has embraced a mission to integrate Nishijin brocade into contemporary life, making it more accessible and enjoyable. By substituting silk with polyester to maintain affordability, and crafting a range of everyday items from notebooks to bags, Morisan is making this opulent fabric a part of modern living.
We invite people around the world to enjoy Morisan's Japanese notebook, which embody the tradition of Kyoto's Nishijin textile artisans—a tradition that Morisan has proudly sustained for over a century.
