Nishijin Textile Center Weaver , at the very crossroads of the silk and kimono craftsmanship in Kyoto for centuries. When the capital of Japan was moved from Kyoto to Tokyo, its very existence was threatened but the local weavers, kimono designers and associated craftsmen adapted and Nishijin is still around today occupying the same space as it has for hundreds of years. Nishijin also serves as an educational center and puts on kimono fashion shows every day to increase awareness and appreciation of Kyoto silk, kimono and local crafts.
