The purpose of this study was to clarify the position of the <i>kinran</i> sector and its production and marketing structures in the Nishijin textile production area in order to revitalize the <i>kinran</i> sector. We interviewed members of Nishijin weaving cooperatives and a representative <i>kinran</i> weaving company. The position of the <i>kinran</i> sector has been rising, but shipments have decreased since 1975. Labor has become better organized in both <i>kinran</i> weaving companies and related companies, but <i>kinran</i> companies remain small-scale family businesses. The market is predominantly temples, so demand is small. Three factors could revitalize the <i>kinran</i> sector: to catch demand from temples as soon as possible, to cooperate with all temples in both production and marketing, and to assist sales promotion with Nishijin weaving cooperatives.
