"Kin-ran" (gold brocade) is a luxurious fabric that weaves beautiful patterns with the addition of gold and silver leaf, as well as gold and silver threads to colored threads. This textile was introduced from China in the late 16th century and began to be produced in Kyoto. It is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and is often used in Noh costumes, Buddhist robes, Kabuki costumes, and religious articles. More familiar applications include the costumes of Hina dolls, the armor of May dolls, and mounting for artworks. This beautiful traditional Japanese art combines an alluring elegance with a magnificent atmosphere. Although it is about 100 years old and has some corresponding damage, Its allure remains intact and it continues to exude a strong presence. Due to its somewhat heavy nature, it is recommended to use it as a rug. It also looks beautiful when displayed as wall art. Why not enjoy the wabi-sabi style by pairing it with old ceramic planters?
