Historical Background
Rinzu originated in China as “lianzhi” and was introduced to Japan around the Heian period (794–1185). Japanese weavers refined the technique in Kyoto, where it flourished under imperial and aristocratic patronage. During the Muromachi period (1336–1573) and Edo period (1603–1868), Rinzu became a preferred textile for court and samurai attire.
