Kyoto is today a place equally traditional and modern. Textiles are one of the city’s ancient arts, one that continues to prevail in contemporary times. By perfecting this craft over time to adapt to advanced technology, while also continuing to weave in techniques from the past, Kyoto textiles have evolved while remaining rooted in classical methods. This exhibition features 28 textile artists from the 1960s to today who have incorporated procedures from both the past and present into their work. Kyoto Textiles showcases various dyeing and weaving techniques of skilled artisans while portraying a comprehensive display of the art.
