Ⅰ　染織品

シルク博物館の収蔵品の大部分を占めるのが、絹を用いた染織品です。なかでも、開館当初から収集してきた江戸時代の小袖は、今日では収集することが困難な貴重なコレクションとなっています。また、重要無形文化財保持者を含む優れた染織作家の作品や、明治から昭和初期の服飾品や工芸品、さらに世界の民族衣装など、さまざまな絹の染織品を収蔵しています。


I. Dyed Textiles
A majority of the Silk Museum's collection comprises dyed textiles made using silk. These include kosode narrow-cuffed kimono from the Edo Period (1600–1868), which we have collected since our founding, and which are now highly valuable as they have become very difficult to find. Our collection also includes outstanding dyed textile works made by various artists including a dyer who is officially designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property, decorative objects and craft products from the Meiji through early Showa Periods (late 19th and early 20th centuries), native dress from around the world, and various other dyed silk pieces.

Ⅱ　蚕織錦絵

蚕織錦絵（さんしょくにしきえ）とは、養蚕や製糸・機織りを主題とした浮世絵で、江戸後期から明治20年代にかけて盛んに製作されました。当館では、およそ200種の蚕織錦絵を所蔵しています。

II. Sericulture and Silk Weaving Woodblock Prints
Ukiyo-e woodblock prints depicting sericulture and silk weaving—covering everything from raising of silkworms to silk thread reeling and weaving—were created in great numbers during the latter part of the Edo Period, which lasted from 1600 to 1868, up through the second decade of the Meiji Period (final decade or so of the nineteenth century). The Silk Museum has approximately 200 such woodblock prints.

III. History of Silk in Yokohama
Following Yokohama's opening of their port to the rest of the world in 1859, raw silk became an important export good for Japan and the sericulture and silk production industry went on to make major contributions to the nation's modernization. The Silk Museum has collected documents and materials that convey the history of silk in Yokohama.
