International Dyeing and Weaving Art Museum

The International Dyeing and Weaving Art Museum displays extensive collections of textile arts, featuring traditional and contemporary weaving and dyeing techniques from multiple regions.

The museum opened its doors in April 1986, establishing itself as a primary institution for textile preservation and education in northern Japan.

The collection includes Japanese textile artifacts such as kimono coverlets, haori coats, and stage curtains depicting traditional scenes from the Omi region.

Visitors must make reservations through the museum website before their visit, and parking facilities are available for those arriving by car.

The museum exhibits a historical mosquito net cloth created from leftover threads, demonstrating traditional Japanese textile resourcefulness and craftsmanship.
