I visited on February 24th, 2022. We were able to take photos freely inside the building. The Nishijin textiles were particularly beautiful and photogenic as they glowed in the dark. The atmosphere is different when it's dark and when it's bright. I haven't had a chance to wear a kimono, and I wasn't really interested in Nishijin-ori, but I found it very delicate, beautiful, and gorgeous, but not flashy, and I could see the craftsmanship and passion of the creators, which made me look at it with interest. I received it.

パンフレット以外すべて西陣織です。織物はたて糸がギャンバスでよこ糸が絵の具なんですね。それにしても見事な芸術作品を拝見できました。

令和元年の8月にオープン 着物などの商社ツカキの自社ビル7階にある。 有名絵画を西陣織で作り上げ、その精巧さをアピールする。 スペースもありそれなりに見応えはあるが、 西陣織でできた絵画を見ても西陣織が欲しいとは思わないので 業界の販促につながるのかは疑問、 ビギナー向けなのか玄人向けの展示なのかもよく分からなかった。 個人的にはもっとこんなモノも作ってます！的なアピールや、 西陣織が他の織物と比べてどう凄いのかが分かる展示や解説が欲しかった。

I didn't know that there was such a relaxing space in the middle of Kyoto's business district! ️ Tsukaki is famous as a kimono shop. The Asagi Art Museum is located on the 7th floor of Tsukaki Square. From the moment you enter the entrance of the building, you will feel a calm and comfortable space. When I took the elevator to the 7th floor, I was greeted by Dawn and Korin Ogata's Red and Plum Blossoms. A dazzling tapestry woven with plenty of gold thread. There's a lot to see in this small museum. I wanted more people to know about it.

Nishijin Ori is 5 stars. Minus 5 stars for exhibition sense😅 Wouldn't it be better to display it with colored lights to make it easier to see...especially the work in front of the elevator at the entrance? A board with no instructions or warnings was placed right in front of it. I wish I could bring out even more wonderful things. I wonder if it's time for a spatial designer or something? Someone please improve this...

Take the elevator up and pay the admission fee at the entrance. We were able to see works of art related to advanced Nishijin textile techniques and techniques. There are many intricate textiles that make you wonder how they made them, such as the karuta designs for Hyakunin Isshu. I was impressed that they gave me a guide tablet for free. When I watched the work while listening to this, it was easier to understand and my understanding deepened. At the exit, they also sold small items and obi scraps that would be nice to frame and display. I passed Maiko outside on the first floor and was doubly impressed with her beautiful obi.

I was able to learn about the depth of Nishijin textiles, including the fact that it takes more time than I imagined, that it is made in the Kyotango region near the Sea of ​​Japan rather than in Kyoto City, that it has a long history, and that I was able to see many exhibits.

It was wonderful I was asked if I could take pictures, so I took pictures of things that interested me! I wanted a Van Gogh handkerchief as a souvenir, but unfortunately it was out of stock!

Visited once in the spring ~ This time, there is an exhibition themed on Buddhist art and Nishijin textiles for autumn again ~ The beauty and luster of Nishijin textiles is definitely true ~

素敵な空間で西陣織の絵画を堪能しました。

会社の面接終わりでたまたま前を通ってみつけました私は昔銀行で、勤務していたので、京都にゆかりがあり、西陣に興味が、あったので、いきました、とても楽しく拝見できました ここはできてまだ、3年だそうで、綺麗でした説明にタブレットが、あるので良かったです

偶然通り掛かって入ってみたら驚きました。素晴らしく見応えの有る施設でした。西陣織で再現された西洋絵画や仏教美術が圧巻です。係員の女性方も親切かつ丁寧です。ビルの７階なので見落としがちですが、お勧めです。次の企画展にも行きたいと思います。

Highly recommended place to visit.

A hidden gem of the world - renowned Nishijin Brocade as fine art. Nishijin - brocade is usually used for gorgeous obi and kimono, but here you can find most beautiful silk woven textiles as tapestries, framed works and panels. They received many prestigious awards for excellence. They are woven with a 1800 needle jacquard, and show how far they can achieve - some depict works of world painters such as Van Gogh and Monet, needless to say Japanese Ukiyo-e and Rinpa. It is all the more interesting, as they have woven texture. You can even find luminous woven works in the dark room! Currently they run the special exhibition themed on the Tale of Genji, which is said to be the oldest novel in the world. (until Jun.30, 2024). It is astonishing that even old snaky Japanese letters were so neatly woven! It is located on the 7th floor of the Tsukaki Square bldg, just in front of the Exit 6 of Shijyo station. A must see for all textile/fabric lovers and art lovers! Nishijin textiles are world-renowned, but this museum is a hidden treasure that is still little known. Nishijin-ori is generally used for obi and kimono, but here you can appreciate it as art works such as tapestries, frames, and panels. It seems that they have won many prestigious awards for their wonderful weaving techniques. It is woven with the highest quality jacquard, with 1,800 needles (usually less than 900), and it seems to show just how far textiles can express themselves. Not only Japanese ukiyo-e and Rimpa paintings, but even works of art from around the world such as Van Gogh and Monet are faithfully reproduced. Furthermore, it is interesting because it has a texture that is unique to dyed and woven fabrics. In the dark room, you can also see framed and panel works woven from luminescent thread. A special exhibition is currently being held that recreates the world of The Tale of Genji using textiles. (Until June 2024) I was amazed at how elaborately woven even the fluffy letters on the picture scrolls were! The location is right in front of Shijo Station exit 6. If you like dyed textiles and art, please check it out!

知る人ぞ知る、西陣織の美術館です。決して敷地面積が広いという訳ではないものの、一点一点が繊細で美しい作品なため、説明を聞きながら丁寧に回ると一周に1時間以上かかると思います。 ※流し見であれば、30分もかからないかと。 お土産コーナーも一点物の西陣織の作品が販売されており、その時にしか買えない商品があるところも楽しみの一つです。 京都で出会えてよかった美術館でした。 末長く続いてほしいです！

日本文化の素晴らしさを堪能してきました。継の世代にもうけつがれて欲しいですね。

You can enjoy the craftsmanship and elegance of Kyoto's traditional craft, Nishijin-ori, up close! ! When I went there, Nishijin textile reproductions of famous paintings and ukiyo-e were on display, and not only the colors but also the worldview and brush strokes of the paintings were beautifully reproduced. It was amazing to see so many wonderful works that showed the true nature of the world✩.*˚

西陣織の素晴らしい作品の数々。作品たちはどれだけ手間のかかっている作業を経ているのが分かるぐらいよくできている。京都らしいものを見て帰るならぜひ。
