Immerse yourself in the rich culture of kimonos from across all of Japan while crafting your own unique art piece. While many people know of kimonos, very few know about the signature patterns and variations across different regions of Japan. This workshop repurposes authentic vintage kimono fabrics, offering an eco-friendly and sustainable way to appreciate Japan’s beauty. A professional kimono expert will guide you through the history and cultural significance of kimono, making this both an enjoyable art and learning experience for beginners. You can choose from a variety of exquisite kimono fabrics: the vibrant Bingata from Okinawa, the earthy Oshima Tsumugi from Amami, the elegant Kaga Yuzen from Kanazawa, and the refined Kyo Yuzen from Kyoto. Using simple techniques, you will create a beautiful art panel featuring your selected fabric to take home as a keepsake. Take home a unique piece of Japanese art and turn your travel memories into a tangible keepsake!

5.00I had a really great time at the Kimono Art Workshop in Tokyo with Beauty of Japan. The whole experience was fun, relaxing, and really easy to enjoy from start to finish. The staff was incredibly kind, patient, and professional, and she created such a welcoming atmosphere. She explained everything clearly and helped whenever needed without making it feel intimidating or complicated. The workshop itself was beautiful and a really unique way to experience Japanese culture. I loved being able to create something personal and artistic while spending an hour and a half doing something different from the usual tourist activities. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan.
Excellent experience

5.00After having a busy time in Japan, I wanted a more relaxing and fun activity to do and this was perfect. There were only 2 of us and Yuki and her colleague (sorry I cannot remember her name) were amazing. We not only undertook our activity but time was taken to explain the cultural and historical aspects of Kimonos and Obis. They were on hand to help always and both me and the other person needed a lot of help! The small touches were also very appreciated - you were given a personalised paper which explained what your chosen fabric showed and gave a historical background. It also explained any symbolism which I thought was a nice touch. They also have a wall set up for you to hang your canvas and for you to take pictures. I recommend this activity
Informative and relaxed experience!

5.00We had a great time in this workshop! The instructors were very knowledgeable about both the history of kimonos and the various ways they are still worn today, and we had a great time picking out our fabrics and making our art panels. It was wonderful getting to repurpose textiles that were no longer serving their original purpose.
A fun day at a Kimono Art Workshop
