What is Nishijin Carbon?
Nishijin Carbon is a carbon fiber textile developed by a textile manufacturer with more than 100 years of business experience in Kyoto’s famous Nishijin kimono manufacturing district. Nishijin Carbon applies the modern material of carbon fiber to the exquisitely refined weaving techniques perfected in pursuit of the complex patterns on kimono’s obi sashes. The result is an utterly unique fiber textile with nearly unlimited design possibilities.
