The Silk Museum was established in March 1959 as part of a commemorative project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port. With the cooperation of Kanagawa Prefecture, Yokohama City, and related industries, it was located at the location of the Chamber of Commerce (Eiichi Bank).
Here, you can see the process of "silk making" from "shells" to spinning and dyeing, as well as the evolution of silk clothing from ancient to modern times, showcasing masterpieces of dyeing and weaving techniques. And many excellent Japanese and Western modern silk products.
It is one of the few museums in the world where one can learn and appreciate "silk and all things".
