About Kiryu
Kiryū lies about 90 km northwest ofTokyo(as the crow flies), and just across the Tochigi prefectural boundary fromAshikaga. During the Edo Era, Kiryū was known for its fine silks, an eastern match for Kyoto in western Japan. The lord of Kiryū supplied over 2,400 silk banners for the troops of Tokugawa Ieyasu in the battle of Sekigahara in 1600, and thereafter continued to pay the same tribute to the victorious Tokugawa Shogunate every year. It later became an important center for textile manufacturing during Japan's industrial revolution, and now is a manufacturing center for automotive parts and pachinko machines. Kiryū's international sister cities are also textile and manufacturing towns:Biella, Piemonte, Italy, andColumbus, Georgia, USA. Kiryū's Columbus Street features pink and white
