Overview

Hands-on bingata textile dyeing workshop preserving the 500-year-old royal craft of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

A workshop and gallery preserving bingata, the vivid resist-dyed textile art that served as the royal court craft of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Visitors can try the intricate stencil-dyeing process, applying pigments to fabric through hand-cut patterns that take master artisans months to design. The gallery displays both traditional royal patterns and contemporary interpretations of this 500-year-old Okinawan art form.
