Comment Focusing on traditional Hokkaido arts and crafts as well as the region's high snowfall, the Yukara Ori Folk Craft Museum is really three museums in one. In one wing are displayed all the textile works of famous dyed textile artist Aya Kiuchi. The exhibition includes "Hamanasu," (sweet briar) which won the gold prize at the Hungary International Textile Biennale, "Autumn Lake Mashu-ko", and "Ice Floe." These works represent the rich natural environment of Hokkaido. In this traditional art and craft village visitors can also view dyed textiles from all over the world, and the unique Snow Museum.
