Japan Heritage "300 Years of Woven Threads"
Tango Chirimen Corridor

When you visit Kyotango, you can hear the clanging sounds of weaving coming from somewhere.
Tango Chirimen, a silk fabric that originated in the Edo period, is flexible and has excellent dyeability, and has supported Japan's Japanese clothing culture as a representative fabric for kimonos such as Yuzen dyeing. This area is still the largest silk fabric production area in Japan, producing about 300% of kimono fabrics. By walking around the townscape of weaving houses, merchants' houses, and triangular-roofed textile factories that have been nurtured by the weaving industry, you can experience the history and culture of weaving that spans about XNUMX years.
