Kimono are part of Japanese culture. There are many different types of Kimonos, for example for our coming-of-age ceremony, wedding kimono etc.
Our tour will introduce the techniques and highly professional skills that are needed to make kimonos, first hand and from very experienced kimono makers.
Our ancestors’ designs developed slowly over many generations through learning and acquired wisdom. They are environmentally friendly and minimum waste is part of the rationale behind the development of kimono.
