The imperial court began supporting the development of Nishijin after the war at the end of the Muromachi period (15c). Gold , silver and colorful threads were woven into patterns that elevated the very design out of the fabric. In Nishijin Textile Center, an elegant Kimono Fashion Show, a demonstration of weaving by skillful artisans can be seen free of charge. Also various Nishijin goods are sold here. For activities, visitors can weave a table mat (see below)
