Encountering Nishijin-ori (Nishijin weaving)
Nakanoshima, Osaka. This area, symbolic of Osaka, the "City of Water," is a place where historical cultural facilities and advanced urban functions harmonize.
The Nishijin Textile Asagi Museum Osaka Nakanoshima Branch is located on the first floor of the Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka Vignette Collection, which overlooks Nakanoshima.
In the main building, we focus on Nishijin-ori, a traditional Kyoto textile industry that Japan is proud of, and introduce the techniques and beauty that have been passed down for over a thousand years, along with a modern sensibility.
You can leisurely admire the many Nishijin-ori textiles, woven with exquisite techniques and rich designs, in a refined and tranquil setting.
We also offer traditional cultural experience programs that allow you to connect with Japanese aesthetics.
Located in the culturally rich Nakanoshima area of Osaka, we warmly welcome you to our establishment, which will enhance your sightseeing experience.
Special exhibition currently being held
Opening Commemorative Special Exhibition: "The Golden Textile Exhibition"
The Rinpa school of art, established during the Edo period, is characterized by its flamboyant use of gold and silver, bold compositions, and designs that make effective use of negative space. Over time, Japanese crafts traveled to Europe, influencing Impressionist artists as part of Japonism.
Inspired by these aesthetic sensibilities, Nishijin-ori textiles utilize gold threads and a variety of colored threads to recreate the expressions of painting and light through weaving, possessing both delicacy and splendor. Please come and experience the world of Nishijin-ori, where traditional techniques and new sensibilities merge. You will experience the profound charm where Japanese and Western beauty resonates.
