Nishijin employs very tedious and specialized procedures necessary to obtain the spectacular design, thus ensuring the quality of Nishijin weaving.

Tatsumura Textile established "Art Brocade" through vast experience in researching and restoring antique textiles. It is considered as one of the most luxury silk fabric in the world.
