Full Description
Step into Kyoto’s historic Nishijin district and discover the world of Yuzen, a traditional Japanese dyeing technique known for its vibrant colors and delicate silk patterns. This immersive cultural experience introduces you to the elegance of Kyoto’s textile craftsmanship.
Meet your guide at the workshop location — a beautifully preserved machiya townhouse — and begin your journey through the history of Kyoto Yuzen dyeing. Your guide will explain the origins and evolution of this art form, developed in the Edo period and still practiced by artisans today.
Observe intricate hand-painted designs and examples of authentic Yuzen-dyed textiles. Then, get hands-on as you create your own piece of art — typically a silk handkerchief — using vibrant dyes and traditional methods under the guidance of a master craftsperson.
