Landscape-sized kimonos in a Gaudí-influenced building, where textile art and nature merge in ways you've never seen.

In a whimsical Gaudí-influenced building on the shores of Kawaguchi-ko, this museum displays the extraordinary kimono art of Kubota Itchiku. A small number of oversized kimonos, painstakingly dyed, embroidered, and hand-painted to depict continuous landscapes, hang in a grand cypress hall. You might see Mt Fuji in winter or cherry blossoms spreading across fabric with a luminosity that feels alive. It's an unexpected collision of textile art and landscape painting that redefines what a kimono can be.
