染清流館京都The Somé・Seiryukan Museum was created in 2006.
Its purpose is to transmit "to the world the art of Japanese dyeing."
The name itself "Some" means dyeing.
The museum contains a collection of around 500 pieces by 100 dye artists who are based in Kyoto.
The name - Somé・Seiryukan - of the facility has its origins in a villa on the grounds of Nanzeji Temple, Seiryutei. The villa was built around 1912 and was later joined by another villa, Nomura-tei, along with Tatsumura-tei.
Members of the imperial family as well as famous writers and artists were frequent guests, and from the Taisho Period of the 1920s it became a salon primarily for craftspeople.
