Translations:Ginran/1/en
From Japanese Craftpedia portal
Ginran (銀襴), meaning “silver brocade,” is a refined variety of Nishijin-ori weaving that uses silver-wrapped threads instead of gold. While similar in technique to Kinran, Ginran is distinguished by its cooler tone, subdued brilliance, and elegant interplay of light and shadow. It has been used for Buddhist vestments, court costumes, kimono, and decorative textiles since the Muromachi period.
