Japan Kimono Museum, Fashion museum in Atamimachi, Kōriyama, Japan

The Japan Kimono Museum displays around 4,600 items related to traditional Japanese clothing, showing various styles and patterns from different historical periods. The collection includes garments from the Edo Period, decorated furisode robes, and jackets historically worn by courtesans.

The museum reopened in 2022 after its predecessor, the Japan Kimono Culture Museum, ceased operations due to damage from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. This reopening allowed the collection to resume being shared with the public after a gap of several years.

The collection shows how kimonos were worn across different occasions and social settings, giving you a sense of their role in Japanese life. Walking through the exhibits, you can see the craftsmanship and care that went into making each garment.

The museum is located in the Bandai-Atami Onsen resort area, making it convenient to visit alongside other attractions in the region. It is helpful to check opening hours in advance before your visit to plan your time accordingly.

The museum displays traditional dyeing methods, including Makinori technique that uses figured silk to create specific textures on fabrics. These processes reveal the specialized craftsmanship involved in creating kimonos by hand.
