The ancient city of Kyoto has created many traditional crafts such as fabrics, dyed goods, potteries and incense as a center of traditional culture in Japan. Nenju is one of the famous traditional crafts of Kyoto and about 80% of nenju in Japan is made in Kyoto. The reason why nenju makers are gathered in Kyoto are because there are many head temples and Nishijin fabric industries that are making threads of nenju with the rest of fabrics, and bead processing factories with high techniques are gathered in the surrounding Kyoto.
