Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost prefecture, was an independent kingdom until 1879, with its own language, culture and distinctive textile traditions. This special exhibition highlights textile treasures from Okinawan museum collections and features brightly colored bingata—traditional resist-dyed fabrics—and contemporary works by Okinawan artists and fashion designers. The show has been organized in partnership with the Okinawa Prefectural Government, with support from the Coby Foundation, Ltd., and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
