Amuse Museum, Art museum in Asakusa, Japan.

The Amuse Museum contained six exhibition floors dedicated to Japanese textile arts, including an extensive collection of traditional clothing and design artifacts.

The museum opened in November 2009 and displayed over 1500 rotating items from folklorist Chuzaburo Tanaka's collection of 30,000 historical pieces until March 2019.

The permanent exhibition featured Boro clothing, handcrafted garments made from recycled fabric scraps that demonstrated Japanese textile traditions from the 17th century.

Located near Sensoji Temple, the museum provided direct access from Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line and Tsukuba Express, with a rooftop bar offering city views.

The collection included props and costumes from Akira Kurosawa's film 'Yume' and 768 traditional kimono pieces from the northern regions of Japan.
