Arimatsu Narumi Tie Dyeing Museum

Nagoya


This museum upholds the 400-year-old tradition of shibori (tie-dyeing). Downstairs you'll find historical artefacts, a gift shop, and a video introducing this painstaking and beautiful craft. Upstairs, a number of women patiently demonstrate the art. Arimatsu is about 20 minutes from Nagoya on the Meitetsu main line, towards Toyohashi.
