Lonely Planet review

Follow the blue signs through a maze of courtyards until you see bolts of blue cloth drying in the yard. This cotton fabric (sometimes also called blue calico) is similar to batik, and is coloured using a starch-resist method and indigo dye bath. This museum and shop, started by Japanese artist Kubo Mase, displays and sells items made by hand. It has been in business for 20 years, takes pride in quality, and does not give discounts.
