Founded by Eirakuya—a legendary textile house operating since 1615—the Hosotsuji Ihee Museum celebrates the versatile artistry of traditional Japanese tenugui cloths. Visitors can explore an extensive archive of textile designs spanning centuries, ranging from samurai-era heritage prints to witty, modern illustrations. The unforgettable experience begins at reception, where your entrance ticket is printed on an authentic cotton tenugui that staff snip and give you to keep as a souvenir. It offers an engaging, tactile glimpse into Kyoto's enduring craftsmanship and textile culture.
