Make your own Kimono

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 Kimonos and Yukatas 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. The best part is, everyone can take home their brand new Yukata
