Nishijin textile art created in limited quantities by a Nishijin textile manufacturer founded in 1868.

This Nishijin woven work is based on the characters of Leiji Matsumoto,
a manga artist who created many popular works such as "Space Battleship Yamato" 
and "Galaxy Express 999" and died 2023 year at the age of 85.
"Nishijin-Ori Maetel 999".
Yakuno-cho, Fukuchiyama City, Kyoto Prefecture, known for its beautiful starry skies,
is a place connected to Galaxy Express 999,
At that time, the director of the Nishijin Textile Museum of Art worked together with his acquaintances to recommend him for the position, and in 2019 he created a Nishijin textile piece depicting the work's heroine, Maetel.
The curator said, "When Mr. Leiji Matsumoto took a look at the Nishijin-ori work, he praised it for its bright colors and three-dimensional feel."
Now that orders for the work have ended, it has become a very valuable work of art.

Nishijin-ori is a traditional textile produced in the Nishijin district of Kamigyo-ku in Kyoto, Japan.
Originating in Heian-kyoto over 1,200 years ago, weaving is known for its highly-decorative and finely-woven designs, created through the use of tedious and specialised production processes.
It is well-regarded for the high quality and craftsmanship of the resulting fabrics, commonly used for high-quality obi and kimono.
