What To Expect

You will see the main processes of yuzen dyeing and tie-dyeing, which are traditional techniques for dyeing kimonos. <Yuzen process> Please pay attention to the way that the long cloth in the dyeing process is hung up and dyed, the state of dyeing with a spatula in the molding process and the huge number of molds. <Drawing process> The dynamic tub dyeing sight at the dyeing station will surprise you beyond the image of kimono dyeing. In addition, please see the process of hand drawing Yuzen. (Depending on the operation status of the workshop on the day, the order and contents of the tour may be changed.)
