Introduction[1]
There are some twenty-five galleries and museums in Japan that have textiles in their collection. There are over 38 major textile-producing areas in Japan. For example, the Arimatsu Narumi in Aicchi is famous for their shibori. The origins of Arimatsu Narumi Shibori date back to the Keicho era in the Edo period (1596-1615) when Takeda Shokuro used the sophisticated tie-dyeing technique called shibori (which was handed down from people involved in the construction of Nagoya Castle), manufactured washcloths (called mame-shibori) and marketed them as kukuri-shibori.
Arimatsu-Narumi Shibori goods - 400 years of tie-dye tradition.
In Australia wearable art is collected by the National Galley of Australia, Ian Potter Centre, National Gallery of Victoria as well as in small regional galleries such as the Ararat Regional Art Gallery etc. However, the number of galleries and museums with sizeable wearable art collections is minuscule compared to Japan.
