Kimono Workshop! (Wear yukata!)
Schedule
Kimono workshop→ Tea time→ Wear yukata→ Visit local temple→ Change clothing→ Visit local stores→ Depart from Ningyocho Station
When people think of traditional Japanese clothing, images of kimonos first pop into their minds. Unfortunately, in today’s modern world, opportunities to wear kimonos are becoming fewer and fewer. Consequently, many Japanese have begun wearing Yukata or summer kimonos. Wouldn’t you also like to try on a Yukata?
In this program, participants will visit a Kimono workshop where they will learn how Kimono and Yukata are made. Participants will learn the intricate process of kimono dyeing and then each will be able to dye a small handkerchief themself. Following this, participants will be dressed in Yukata and have the chance to take lots of photos and meander through the streets of traditional Nihombashi.
There are two plans available. You can either bring a brand new Yukata home or borrow a Yukata to wear during the program.
| Feedback from our participants: "Very interesting. Good to have practical experience of dying fabric. Also loved the opportunity to wear the yukata." (Australian Female) ♦ "I am very interested to experience the culture of the countries I visit and this was an excellent opportunity to discover that of Japan. I am also very interested in traditional crafts & textiles - so this was the perfect program for me." |
