That Kimono is so exquisite it made me gasp.

I only recently learnt of Itchiku Kubota and did not know about the museum. Thank you for sharing this experience. The kimono you show is so lovely. What a lucky spot!

Although very different from kimono, the museum reminded me of The Rock Garden at Chandigarh in India. I had never heard of this before visiting Chandigarh and someone recommended visit it. I had no idea what to expect and was blown away by this amazing garden/museum/art space created by a single artist, Nek Chand.

yes, seems i now remember seeing that mentioned somewhere but wasn’t familiar with park guell- googled it and saw the original.
i was just blown away by the ability to really see the details of these pieces.

the one thing that is so important in displaying textiles is being close enough. touching would be the ultimate. so nice to come with you on your tour.

the courtyard is a copy of Gaudi’s colonnade in Parc Guell!!! strange to see it scaled down.and the first photo is very Gaudi too.
