Full Description
Take part in a unique cultural experience at the Kyoto Shibori Museum, just a 5-minute walk from Nijo Castle. In this workshop, you will create a fukusa—a traditional silk wrapping cloth—using time-honored Kasamaki and Nuishime shibori dyeing methods. These techniques involve carefully winding and sewing the fabric to produce delicate resist-dyed patterns.
You’ll use an authentic shibori stand during the workshop, just like artisans do. After your hands-on experience, enjoy the museum’s curated exhibitions showcasing vintage and modern shibori works, rare tools, and insightful displays on the history and evolution of the craft.
Whether you’re an art lover, textile enthusiast, or cultural explorer, this class offers a meaningful way to experience one of Japan’s most elegant and intricate textile arts.
