In Kyoto, high-quality crepe mainly refers to **Tango Chirimen**.
This high-quality silk fabric is produced in the Tango region in northern Kyoto Prefecture. It uses tightly twisted weft threads and is characterized by the fine unevenness known as "shibo" that appears on the surface of the fabric after being refined.
This texture creates a unique luster and texture, making it known as the finest fabric that supports traditional Japanese silk fabrics such as kimonos.
Luxury: Its wrinkle-resistant, supple and flexible texture is what makes it a popular luxury item.
Skilled craftsmen can adjust the way the threads are combined and the number of twists to create fabrics with a variety of different looks.
It is still the largest silk weaving region in Japan, but the challenge is to train artisans who can inherit the techniques.
Facilities such as the "TANGO OPEN CENTER" have also opened, where visitors can observe the refining process, promoting its appeal.
