Overview

Discover the elegance of kumihimo, a traditional Japanese braiding art with centuries of history. This hands-on course invites you to experience the techniques that have been carefully passed down since the Edo period, while learning about the cultural significance and heritage of this craft.

During the session, you’ll not only practice the braiding process yourself but also see authentic restoration materials and hear stories that reveal the artistry behind kumihimo.

At the end, you can transform your finished braid into a keychain or bracelet — a personal piece of Japanese craftsmanship to take home as a meaningful keepsake.

Relax with complimentary matcha tea while your completed creation is prepared for take-home. Reflect on your journey into Japan's most treasured textile tradition in our peaceful setting.
