Fabrics woven with gold thread as the material are called "Kinji Kinran," referred to as "Zhijin" in China. Fabrics that use silver thread instead of gold thread are called "Ginran." The production of Kinran can be traced back to the Song Dynasty in China. In Japan, it was officially adopted as a domestic weaving technique after being introduced from the Ming Dynasty during the Tensho era (1573-1592), with Kyoto's Nishijin-ori being its representative. Kinran is a luxurious and ornate type of fabric, holding the most esteemed position among "Meibutsu Gire" (famous antique textiles), and was favored by tea masters, samurai, and the aristocracy.
