Lonely Planet review

The Nishijin Textile Center is part museum, part event hall and part shop. Downstairs, it occasionally hosts kimono fashion shows, highlighting the area's distinctive Nishijin-ori weaving. Upstairs there are displays where artisans demonstrate the use of traditional looms and dying techniques. A variety of goods, including kimono and obi (kimono sashes), are for sale on the 2nd floor.
