brocade

On-Yomi: キン — Kun-Yomi: にしき

Koohii stories:

1) [indigo] 18-1-2008(190): Brocade is the art of sewing gold on a white towel.

2) [dihutenosa] 30-8-2007(90): Never heard of this word before encountering it here. So it turns out that the fanciest brocade in the world is actually a towel used by a Turkish monarch. It's embroidered with gold and cocaine. Yes, cocaine - what you thought it'd be something else? That is some true art right there. I think a great many people would want to own this towel.

3) [Danieru] 12-1-2008(30): "Brocade" means 'twisted thread', and is usually made with gold and silver. Here it is written as a towel woven with gold and white.

4) [zardoz73] 25-8-2008(23): First, the meaning of brocade in English: fabric woven with an elaborate design, esp. a raised pattern. Imagine GOLD threads embedded in a WHITE silk TOWEL. I carried my brocade to the airport and the GOLD set off the METAL detector!

5) [duzymichal] 8-7-2009(13): The problem with this kanji was that the towel pictured by me was white in the first place (and I'm not changing colours/shapes/overall appearance of my primitives only to adjust them to new kanji, oh no sir…). So I have a white dove pecking golden brocade out of the towel.
