Nishijin is a neighborhood of Kyoto, centered on [[Funaoka-yama]], which is perhaps the most famous center of [[textiles|textile]] production in Japan.
The neighborhood's name, literally meaning "western [military] encampment," derives from it being the area where [[Yamana Sozen|Yamana Sôzen's]] so-called "Western Army" was based during the [[Onin War|Ônin War]] (1467-77).
