The "kajue" brand, which specializes in "Kinran" textiles in Kyoto’s Nishijin district, seeks to reunite Islamic culture with traditional Japanese culture.
Kinran is a fabric in which gold thread and finely cut gold leaf are woven to create patterns. Techniques introduced from the continent have been continuously refined by artisans, resulting in the kinran we know today.
Shining even in dim light, kinran has been used as the highest-ranking garment in solemn and majestic occasions.
Arabesque is a style of Islamic art created by repeating patterns.
In Japan, it became widely known as the “karakusa pattern,” symbolizing prosperity, and has been used in all kinds of decorations.
Using gold, silver, and vividly dyed threads of various thicknesses, artisans weave intricate patterns that form beautiful arcs.
