Ōme Kimono Museum

In a 200-year-old storehouse: Prince Nashimoto's kimono for the 1915 coronation

The museum occupies a kura, a traditional masonry storehouse, about 200 years old, with more than 500 historical garments: court, samurai and merchant kimono, and wedding garments from the Edo period. The permanent piece most cited by the official source is the kimono worn by Prince and Princess Nashimoto for the coronation ceremony of Emperor Taishō in 1915.

The museum, in the Yoshino-baigō area of Ōme, holds a private collection of more than 500 Japanese garments from the Edo period onwards (court robes, samurai robes, robes of merchant families) inside a masonry storehouse about two hundred years old. The exhibitions change with the seasons: as of September 2026 an exhibition on the Silk Road was running.
