・Visit the yuzen artists in Hiroshima

The second floor of the building is a atelier of yuzen artists. Yuzen is a Japanese dyeing technique for fabrics with hand-painted patterns and it was first invented in Kyoto. Kimonos made in Kyoto are sent to this workshop to be hand-painted since there are few yuzen artists all over Japan. Through this experience you will appreciate traditional yuzen patterns and vibrant colors.

・Other culture experiences: mizuhiki crafting, furoshiki wrapping, paper folding, wearing a samurai armor and making a bento.

In the first floor of the building there are various workshops of Japanese culture experiences such as tabi-socks painting class, decorative mizuhiki cords crafting and wrapping techniques using furoshiki clothes and papers, wearing samurai armors and martial arts experiences and more. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in any particular Japanese culture. We can combine activities.

Itinerary

We offer high-quality, premium kimonos as well as ceremonial yuzen kimonos created by Zuiko.​ ​

Also, we provide yukatas including traditional tie-dyed and Edo style ones and gorgeous Hakata obi-belts.​ ​

Dressing is done by experienced kimono instructors accredited by the Japan Kimono Consulting Association.​ ​

As you dress up in kimono, next, you will have tea ceremony. Through this experience you will learn how to make a cup of green tea and its drinking manners. We use a table and chairs during the ceremony and show you 'obon-temae' which means tea is prepared on a round tray. We hope that it will be helpful if you wish to have the tea ceremony at home, probably in western style house.

Our atelier is located in a quiet neighborhood and it takes 15 minutes to walk from Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Come stop by on your visit to this area if time permits between your sightseeing programs.​ ​
