This museum upholds the 400-year-old tradition of shibori (tie-dyeing). Downstairs, you'll find historical artefacts, a gift shop and a video introducing this painstaking and beautiful craft. Upstairs, a number of women patiently demonstrate the art. If you fancy and have the time (up to three hours) you can try it yourself. It costs ¥1050 to ¥3150 depending on the item: reservations are required. Arimatsu is about 20 minutes from Nagoya on the Meitetsu main line, towards Toyohashi.
